Ipswich Town vs. Wolves Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Ipswich Town vs. Wolves

Ipswich Town is eager to extend their successful run and progress to the fourth round of the EFL Cup as they host Premier League opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers at Portman Road on Tuesday.

In the second round, the Tractor Boys advanced by defeating Reading in a penalty shootout, while Gary O’Neil’s team secured their spot by convincingly defeating Blackpool 5-0.

Ipswich Town boasts an impressive history, including a top-flight title and an FA Cup, but they’ve yet to claim the EFL Cup. However, judging by their early-season performance under Kieran McKenna, they might spring some surprises in this year’s competition.

Their journey began with a comfortable 2-0 win over Bristol Rovers in the first round. In the subsequent round against crisis-hit Reading, Ipswich was moments away from a regular-time victory before Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan’s late equalizer for the Royals. However, Ruben Selles’s side faltered in the penalty shootout, missing three of their four spot kicks but still managing to advance.

What to remember – Ipswich Town vs. Wolves

Ipswich’s current form presents a formidable challenge for Wolves, especially considering the contrast with their previous opponents, Blackpool. Wolves were fortunate to secure a draw against Luton and should avoid the error of underestimating their Championship counterparts.

While Ipswich has shown attacking prowess at home, their tendency to concede goals at Portman Road is a concern. This fixture might ultimately be decided via a penalty shootout after an entertaining draw, where Ipswich’s recent shootout success could potentially lead to an upset.
