My Prediction
Wolverhampton by 1
All right, lovers of fancy footwork and perfectly timed headers, let's sink our teeth into this tantalizing matchup between Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton. Wolves are entering this game with the wind in their sails, particularly due to their impressive goalkeeper, José Sá. With an admirable rating of 6.97 and a handful of saves under his belt, it looks like his goal box is a place where shots go to die.
Don't get me wrong, Alex Palmer from Ipswich Town hasn't been twiddling his thumbs either. With a rating of 7.23 and a total of 10 saves in the season so far, it's clear he's been earning his keep.
Looking at their squads, Wolverhampton is parading an array of talent. Jørgen Strand Larsen is a force to be reckoned with, sporting a rating of 7.67 alongside 3 goals and 4 shots on goals this season. Not to forget the fantastic Matt Doherty, who may not have scored any goals but his accurate pass % of 86.5 speaks volumes about his contribution.
Ipswich Town should not be discounted either, with firepower like Liam Delap boasting a commendable rating of 7.17 and a goal to his name. Not just him, folks, Conor Townsend also looks quite sharp with a rating of 7.20 even without scoring yet this term.
Let's time travel a bit. The last time these two teams collided, Ipswich Town painted the day with a narrow victory. But recent memories paint a more complex landscape. Ipswich Town's recent results don't exactly sparkle with consistent wins, as does Wolverhampton's.
If we were to paint an 'opposite day' scenario, Ipswich Town's regular-season record seems to be playing catch-up with Wolverhampton's more robust performance. The Wolves have racked up 8 wins compared to Ipswich's 4, and that's bound to cast a bit of a shadow over Ipswich's camp.
All things considered, sip your favorite brew and bet on an entertaining match but based on the form, squad quality, and recent records, I would tip the scale in favor of Wolverhampton here.
