When you consider the predicament that these 2 teams are currently in it makes a lot of sense to expect goals here. That becomes even more likely when you consider that Wolves have kept just 1 clean sheet all season and conceded 38 goals in 15 games.

Ipswich aren’t a great deal better defensively. They have shipped 27 in their 15 games and only have 1 clean sheet on their record. Expect more than 2.5 goals here.

With Wolves being the home side the emphasis will be on them to take the game to Ipswich and look to win the match.

That should lead to Wolves getting plenty of shots away and when you consider that Arijanet Muric averages 3.9 saves per 90 minutes this season it is not out of the question that he is forced to make another 3 here.

Wolves could get quite desperate and might shoot from unfavourable positions which should allow a comfortable save or two.

Liam Delap averages a shot on target per 90 minutes this season and now he goes up against statistically the weakest defence in the league this term, so it would be a huge surprise if the physical centre-forward fails to register a shot on target here.

Gary O’Neil made the reference on Monday night that his defenders aren’t all kitted out for the physicality of the Premier League and Delap is one of the stronger forwards in the league. A shot on target looks extremely likely to come.

Wolves have played 15 games in the Premier League this season and are yet to post a corner total beyond 6. In fact, they have only reached 6 in 1 of those games and have the lowest corner total in the entire Premier League.

They go into this match off the back of a defeat at West Ham where they didn’t win a single corner and currently average fewer than 3 corners per match so it is hard to see them suddenly earning 7 here. Their wide players coming inside all the time doesn’t lend itself to earning corners so the unders looks good here.

Everything points to both teams scoring in this match. Wolves have the worst defence in the entire league but Ipswich are shipping more than 1 goal per game too.

Between them, these sides have played 30 times in the Premier League this term and they have registered just 2 clean sheets. One of those was for Wolves against Southampton, who are comfortably the lowest scorers in the league. Both teams to score looks a safe play here.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are very weak when it comes to winning corners this season. They are averaging fewer than 3 per match this term which is in huge contrast to Ipswich who are collecting bang on 5 per match on average.

Ipswich attack with their full backs overlapping inverted wingers which leads to a lot of crosses going into the box and tackles being made out wide, whereas Wolves don’t really get in behind or come inside a lot. Ipswich might well see more of the ball here and might not need too many to claim the most corners here.

The standout player on the pitch here is likely to be the in-form Matheus Cunha who has a combined 10 goals and assists this season. If Wolves are to have any chance of winning this match they are likely to need a big contribution from the Brazil international.

Cunha averages just under 2 chances created per match this season and is scoring just under a goal every other game, when you put those two together his goal contribution potential is high here.

Mario Lemina is on 4 yellow cards this season which might mean that he would try to take things easy in this game, given that one more means that he is suspended; however we saw at the end of the game on Monday night how much Wolves’ struggles are impacting him and how quickly he can lose his head.

In a midfield which is likely to be extremely competitive, Lemina wouldn’t have to do too much wrong to pick up a card. Simon Hooper is refereeing this game and he has already booked the Gabon international in the only previous Wolves game he officiated this season.
