Ipswich vs Wolverhampton Predictions

Can the Wolves Crush Ipswich’s Last Flicker of Hope?

• Portman Road Becoming a Graveyard
  • Ipswich have lost five Premier League home games in a row, and ten overall this season—one shy of a 60-year-old unwanted club record.
• Wolves Loving Life on the Road
  • Wolves have recorded back-to-back Premier League away wins at Bournemouth and Southampton, both without conceding a goal.
• Delap Carrying the Weight Alone
  • Liam Delap has now scored 11 league goals this season but has had little consistent support due to Ipswich’s persistent injury woes in attacking areas.

Best Bet for Ipswich vs Wolverhampton

Portman Road is set for a Saturday afternoon clash dripping with tension, as Ipswich Town welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers in a match neither side can afford to lose—but for vastly different reasons. With the relegation trapdoor gaping wide beneath Ipswich, they’ll need to channel every ounce of fight, grit, and maybe even a slice of luck, if they’re to avoid slipping back down into the Championship. Wolves, meanwhile, sit just above them, but a healthy nine points clear—still not mathematically safe, but a world apart in terms of security.

Ipswich finally found some joy in midweek, snatching a shock 2-1 win over Bournemouth away from home. Delap and Broadhead were the heroes on that occasion, but now the question is: can they back it up when it really matters? Their home record doesn’t inspire much confidence—ten defeats already this season, including their last five in front of their own fans. You’d have to go back to the days of black and white telly to find a worse streak.

Wolves, on the other hand, have found some rhythm. A tight 1-0 win over West Ham added to their recent resurgence, and they arrive with back-to-back wins under their belt, looking sharper, more organised, and less panicked than the struggling Tractor Boys. Even without Matheus Cunha, their attack has clicked through Jorgen Strand Larsen, who’s filled the gap with ruthless efficiency. The emotional boost their manager described after Tuesday’s win was no empty rhetoric—this team look like they genuinely believe the job’s almost done.

Best Bet: Wolverhampton Wanderers to Win to Nil

At BettingTips4You, we keep it simple. One match, one bet—the absolute standout choice for this fixture. No fluff, no confusion, just our most confident selection. And for this clash, it’s a strong one: Wolves to win without conceding.

There’s plenty of logic behind this choice, and it starts with Ipswich’s misfiring attack, especially at home. Despite Delap’s individual brilliance, the support around him is thinning fast. Injuries to key creative players like Hutchinson and Davis haven’t helped, and it’s left them relying on recycled possession and the occasional burst of energy from Broadhead. Against a Wolves backline that has looked compact and unflinching lately, that might not be enough.

Let’s not overlook Wolves’ own form on the road either. They’ve won away at both Bournemouth and Southampton in recent weeks, each time managing to keep their opponents off the scoresheet. Tuesday’s clean sheet against West Ham wasn’t just a fluke—it was the product of a well-drilled unit led by Doherty, Agbadou and Toti Gomes, with Semedo and Ait-Nouri offering stability in wide areas.

“Ipswich are desperate, but desperation doesn’t score goals—structure and confidence do. Wolves have both, and that makes this bet the most reliable option on the board.”
— BettingTips4You.com expert Herrin Kendrick

When you add in the form of Joao Gomes and Andre shielding the defence from midfield, it’s no surprise that Wolves have kept four clean sheets in their last five wins. Ipswich may huff and puff, but this house looks too solid to blow down.

---

A realistic outcome here looks like another narrow Wolves victory. Ipswich’s lack of home confidence, combined with Wolves’ momentum and defensive composure, suggests a repeat of their recent 1-0 successes. It might not be a thriller for the neutrals, but Wolves fans won’t care if they take another step away from danger.
