Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Wolverhampton
The primary distinction with Wolverhampton is their high-scoring nature, both offensively and defensively. They've seen 61 goals over 15 rounds, averaging more than 4 per game, unlike Ipswich Town's tally of 41 (2.7 per game). The goal difference is relatively similar, with both sides having a deficit of around 13-15 goals. These four goals per match for Wolverhampton have come over the last four rounds, where in three instances, one side actually netted four. Yet, they claimed only one win in this period.
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town do not always favour matches with a high total score, but if the opponent is right, why not? Bournemouth have played in this manner in four out of the last five rounds, which led to a total over 2.5 against Ipswich Town (2:1). In their last 10 games, Ipswich Town, along with their opponents, have hit the total over in half of those contests. It may not seem a lot, but they are facing another opponent with a shaky defence.
Wolverhampton vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Wolverhampton have long surpassed the Championship level, with the two clubs not meeting often. When they crossed paths in the League Cup during the 2023/24 season, they served up a five-goal thriller, with Ipswich Town securing a 3:2 victory. We're set for another high-scoring affair.
