As the Premier League season nears its final stretch, Ipswich Town welcomes Wolverhampton Wanderers to Portman Road in a match that could shape both clubs’ fates. For Ipswich, the mission is clear, anything less than a win could be a fatal blow to their hopes of survival. Meanwhile, Wolves are eyeing a result that could virtually cement their top-flight status for another year.
Ipswich breathed new life into their campaign with a gritty midweek victory over Bournemouth, their fourth win of the season and their first league triumph of 2025. That result has given them a glimmer of hope as they sit near the relegation zone with eight matches remaining.
Manager Kieran McKenna will be urging his team to harness that momentum, especially at home, where their performances have often been spirited but inconsistent. With attacking duo Nathan Broadhead and Liam Delap finding the net against the Cherries, Ipswich will hope they can carry the scoring load again.
Wolves, under the leadership of Vitor Pereira, have turned a corner since the managerial change in December. A hard-fought 1-0 victory over West Ham in midweek continued their upward trend and placed them within reach of safety.
Much of Wolves’ recent form has been down to the sharp performances of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has now scored three goals in two games. While the absence of Matheus Cunha continues to be a concern, Larsen’s form has kept Wolves firing in the final third.
