Wolves vs Ipswich prediction, odds, tips & team news
Wolves vs Ipswich
Both Wolves and Ipswich Town will be hoping to move up the Premier League table when they meet at Molineux on Saturday 14th December at 3pm. The two sides sit in the relegation zone after 15 games, level on nine points, with a four point gap to Crystal Palace in 17th.
Jorgen Strand Larsen to Score (43/20 with BetMGM)
This is a huge game for both teams and a defeat for the hosts could potentially be the final nail in the coffin for Gary O’Neil. I think the Wolves boss will get a tune out of his side on Saturday and I’m backing striker Jorgen Strand Larsen to get his name on the scoresheet.
The Norwegian has scored six league goals in total this term, with five of those coming at Molineux. Strand Larsen has bagged against Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Chelsea in the Black Country this season. Bet MGM go 43/20 that he scores against Ipswich which looks a juicy price for a player with five goals in seven home appearances.
Omari Hutchinson to be Carded (24/5 with BetMGM)
Sam Morsy is undoubtedly the standout choice in the player cards market for the visiting side, but for those looking for better value, Omari Hutchinson presents a far more intriguing option at double the price. Hutchinson is currently leading the way for yellow cards, having picked up four already this season for Ipswich Town.
What stands out is that three of those bookings have come in away games, meaning Hutchinson has been shown yellow in three of his five Premier League away appearances so far. With odds of 24/5 this implies a modest 17.2% chance of him picking up another card at The City Ground. However, given the recent uptick in bookings across the Premier League, I personally feel those odds are too big, and Hutchinson should be priced much shorter in the market.

How both teams go into Wolves vs Ipswich
Wolves have been an interesting team to follow in the Premier League this season. They had an extremely tough fixture list to start the campaign, leaving them with a bit of a task to overcome. Gary O’Neil’s side remain in the relegation zone after 15 matches, and pressure is mounting after three consecutive defeats at the hands of Bournemouth, Everton and West Ham.
Ipswich are also in the relegation zone, struggling on their return to the Premier League. The Tractor Boys have won just one of their opening 15 league games, losing six. Incredibly pswich’s record this season for wins (1), draws (6), defeats (8) and goals scored (14) is the exact same as they had after 15 games in their last Premier League season in 2001-02, going on to finish 18th.
Wolves team news
Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez are both out for the remainder of the season. Sasa Kalajdzic and Boubacar Traore are also out injured, but could return post-Christmas.
Ipswich team news
Axel Tuanzebe suffered a hamstring injury at the start of the month and is expected to be out for some time. He joins Janoi Donacien and Chiedozie Ogbene on the sidelines, with the latter out for the season. George Hirst is also an injury absentee, but his return is a lot closer.
Wolves vs Ipswich head-to-head
Ipswich beat Wolves 3-2 in the EFL Cup last season, their first meeting for five years. Wolves are unbeaten in their past seven league games against Ipswich, though their last such match was in January 2018.
