Ipswich Town vs Wolves

Current streaks

Recent form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form has been worrying, with the Tractor Boys struggling in 18th position in the Premier League. They have managed just one win in their last six matches, suffering four defeats and securing one draw. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 14 goals in these six games and failing to keep a clean sheet for 12 consecutive matches. The team's goal difference of -6 over this period highlights their defensive frailties. There have been two notably high-scoring encounters: a 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur and a 4-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest. On a more positive note, Ipswich Town have been relatively consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of their last six games, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. However, their recent run of three consecutive league defeats suggests they need to improve quickly to avoid further trouble in the relegation battle.

Wolves

Wolves have shown signs of improvement in their recent form, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. Despite sitting in 17th position in the league, the team has managed to secure three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six games. Notably, Wolves have kept two clean sheets during this period and have been relatively solid defensively, conceding just 0.83 goals per game. Their matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. However, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these fixtures, indicating that while Wolves are finding the net consistently, they are also struggling to completely shut out their opponents. The team's current run of form, particularly their back-to-back Premier League wins against West Ham and Southampton, could be crucial in their fight to avoid relegation.

Recent home/away form

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent home form has been dismal, with the Tractor Boys suffering a concerning run of five consecutive defeats in all competitions at Portman Road. Their sole victory in this period came in an FA Cup clash against lower-league opposition Bristol Rovers. The team's defensive frailties have been brutally exposed, conceding a staggering 18 goals in their last six home matches, including a 6-0 drubbing by Manchester City and a 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. With an average of 3 goals conceded per game and only one clean sheet during this stretch, Ipswich's home ground has become a happy hunting ground for visiting teams. The matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals, highlighting both Ipswich's defensive struggles and their inability to outscore opponents despite managing to find the net in four of the six matches.

Wolves

Wolves' recent away form has shown a marked improvement, with the team securing three victories in their last six matches on the road. Despite their lowly league position, Wolves have displayed resilience, maintaining a positive goal difference in these fixtures. The Molineux outfit have been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of six games, whilst also demonstrating defensive solidity with two clean sheets. Notably, Wolves have won their last two away Premier League matches, suggesting a potential upturn in their fortunes. Their ability to grind out results is evident, with four of the six matches featuring two goals or fewer. However, their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, indicating that Wolves' away games are often closely contested affairs.
