Wolves v Ipswich
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 14th December at 15:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Two teams in the bottom 3 meet in a huge game in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when Wolves host Ipswich in a match that both know they really need to win.
The teams outside the relegation zone are starting to move clear of these two so both teams will be desperate for the points at Molineux.
⭐ Wolves v Ipswich Best Bet
We have a game state here where we should expect to see goals. Both teams need to win and you couldn’t really trust either defence if you were being honest.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals has won in 3 of the last 4 Wolves matches and 11 of 15 in total, as well as in 6 Ipswich matches.
Both sides have scorers in good form and leaky defences so both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals looks the best bet for this relegation 6-pointer – when adding both of the above picks to your betslip, this comes out at 1.85.
🟢 Wolves v Ipswich #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Wolves matches this season average 4.07 goals per game while Ipswich matches average 2.73 goals. When you consider that both sides have played 30 games between them this term and kept a combined 2 clean sheets, it would be wise to expect goals here, especially in a match which is huge for both sides and which both will see as a chance to win.
3+ goals should take care of itself based on those factors while statistically speaking, Ipswich should make it to 5 corners before Wolves do.
Wolves average under 3 corners per game this season, whereas Ipswich are bang on 5 for their average and with Ipswich potentially seeing more of the ball against a counterattacking side, it stands to reason that they will win more corners.
Expect them to get to five a good deal of time before Wolves do, particularly when we consider Wolves didn’t win a single corner against West Ham on Monday night.
Ipswich are more than capable of winning this match. They have only won 1 game all season but it was away from home against Tottenham which suggests they can go to Wolves and win. While Ipswich have only won once, they have avoided defeat in 7 of their 15 matches so they are harder to beat.
That isn’t the case for Wolves. They are conceding 2.53 goals per match and are 1-1-5 at home this term with the win coming over bottom-of-the-pile Southampton. Wolves have suffered 3 damaging-looking defeats in their last 3 games and while Ipswich have also lost their last 3, they have been in each game and were minutes away from beating Bournemouth last time out.
Ipswich look to be the better side overall here and have what it takes to win this game and get to 5 corners first in what is likely to be a match full of goals.

👕 Wolves v Ipswich Predicted XI
🔍 Wolves v Ipswich Players to Watch
🟡 Matheus Cunha
The best player on either side at the minute is the Brazil international Matheus Cunha. He has 7 goals and 3 assists which is no mean effort in a side that has struggled all season.
He has pace and skill and should be able to find the pockets of space that allows him to trouble this Ipswich defence. He has created 27 chances for his teammates this season and averages 3 shots per 90 in the Premier League, so the chances of him scoring or assisting are high.
🟡 Goncalo Guedes
Wolves attacker Goncalo Guedes could be another important player in this match. He is starting to come into his own a little more in a Wolves shirt after his summer move and now averages 1.5 shots on target per 90 minutes this season, the most of any Wolves player.
Although he doesn’t always start, the Portuguese attacker has hit the target in three of his last four matches and with Joao Gomes suspended he might get a longer role here. He looks an attractive price to hit the target.
🔵 Liam Delap
The leading light for Ipswich this season has been Liam Delap who has 6 goals in a struggling side and could have had a few more with better finishing.
The Wolves defence just can’t be trusted at the minute. They are struggling with injuries in the back line anyway and form of those who are involved isn’t great so Delap looks good for a shot on target. He averages 1 per 90 minutes this season and in a game the Tractor Boys need to win their talisman should be taken to hit the target over the course of the game.
