With excitement building and anticipation growing ahead of kickoff, Premier League betting fans are already diving into the odds and assessing both teams, hoping to find the best value. For a detailed, in-depth look at the match, be sure to check out our full preview.

Gary O’Neil’s Wolverhampton Wanderers welcomes Kieran McKenna’s newly promoted Ipswich Town to the Molineux in the countdown to Christmas.

Over their last 12 meetings, they have won three apiece, with six draws, so these sides are very closely matched through history. 

Despite possessing the home advantage, Wolverhampton haven’t kept a clean sheet all season, so expect goals in this early relegation dogfight.

At the time of writing, they are both sat in the relegation zone, with nine points each, so whoever can claim the available three points, it will be worth double in such a crucial clash as this.

Prediction: Wolves to Win

You could imagine both teams will be treating this fixture like a cup final. In a league as unforgiven and arduous as the Premiership, points are very hard to come by, so each of these sides will be viewing this game as a chance to get some vital points in the bag, which could prove pivotal towards the end of the season.

When you are relegation candidates, who have to beat the teams around you to climb above and push them down. However, with these sides so closely matched, this game could very likely end in a draw, like 80% of their last five fixtures have.

Boasting the home advantage should give Wolverhampton a big boost, but they haven’t kept a clean sheet all season, so are almost guaranteed to drop a goal in this festive fixture.

Ipswich have an average of scoring 1.1 goals away from home, but have conceded an average of 2.1.

Over their most recent meetings, there has never been more daylight than a single goal between them, so we are predicting a 2-1 win to the hosts, Wolverhampton.
