A massive showdown at the bottom of the Premier League standings is set for Saturday, as Wolves welcome Ipswich to Molineux.
Both sides currently sit inside the relegation places in the top-flight, with the pressure mounting on Wolves boss Gary O’Neil following four defeats on the bounce.
Ipswich nearly gained a first home win of the season last Sunday, but Bournemouth turned the match on its head in the final stage. However, their away form could be a fascinating angle this weekend.

Wolves vs. Ipswich Prediction
This weekend’s clash with Ipswich is a must-win for O’Neil, defeat and his sacking could be announced on Sunday morning.
The home record in this fixture is well worth considering, but the sheer number of goals that Wolves are allowing this season is hard to dismiss.
Ipswich’s performances haven’t necessarily been reflected in the points gained, but this weekend could be when their survival bid catches fire.
