Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-1
Ipswich
Wolverhampton will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League round 16. The Wolves have been struggling at the back of late, but they have been scoring goals for fun, especially on home soil. Midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to West Ham United, while all Gonzalez, Traore, Gomes, and Mosquera are out of contention with injuries.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, suffered a yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Wolverhampton are capable of producing fine performances at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Suffolk with their hands empty. The likes of Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst, Cieran Slicker, and Chiedozie Ogbene are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Ipswich):
Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311. The Tractor Boys compete in the Championship, but they used to play in the English Premier League in the past as well. Ipswich Town last appeared in the elite division in the 2001/2002 season.
Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
