Predictions & Betting Tips

Tractor Boys need a win to climb out of the mire

Two clubs that are likely to be making big changes over the summer meet in the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday with the hosts, Ipswich Town, in desperate need of a win to escape the drop zone, while West Ham United, who sit 15th with 40 points from 37 games, will want to end the campaign on a high. This Ipswich Town FC vs West Ham United prediction highlights the crucial stakes for both sides as the season concludes. Ipswich are in 19th place with just 22 points from the same number of games, and arrive at Portman Road coming off back-to-back defeats that include a 2-0 loss at Leicester City and a 0-1 home defeat to Brentford. Kieran McKenna’s men press well and have some good attacking players, but they are not getting results right now and a season that promised so much back in August looks likely to end in relegation. Liam Delap is the club’s top scorer this term with 12 goals in 36 Premier League appearances and the powerful striker could be heading to West Ham United, so he’ll be keen to make a statement in this game. According to our Ipswich Town FC vs West Ham United prediction, Delap will play a key role as Ipswich search for goals. Facundo Enciso also provides a good threat from deep, but this Ipswich side lacks penetration in the box and has scored just 13 goals in total at Portman Road this season, averaging a measly 0.72 goals per game at home. For those interested in more insights, our Ipswich Town FC vs West Ham United betting tips cover the key attacking threats and likely outcomes.

Potter has made his mark on West

So, West are a difficult side to predict at the moment, having won one, drawn two and lost two of their five most recent top-flight matches. The Ipswich Town FC vs West Ham United preview suggests that both teams are still trying to find consistency as the campaign wraps up. Graham Potter has only been in charge since January 2025, but he is already stamping his authority on the side as they look to rebuild and add consistency to a season of transition. Potter’s early days at the club have been about pragmatism and making the most of what he has, but Jarrod Bowen is the real danger man for the Hammers, having scored four of their seven goals in their past five games. He is the team’s top-scorer this season with 12 in 33 Premier League appearances.

Back the draw at +275

Ipswich are the long shots at +200 here, but West are marginal favourites at +115 and it would be a bold bettor who went against the visitors given their recent away form (W5, D5, L8 in 18 games), the head-to-head and the fact that Ipswich have been so woeful at home (W1, D4, L13 from 18 games). The draw at +275 looks worth a bet here, but the value could be in ‘both teams to score’ as Ipswich are a front-foot team that presses well and can create chaos when they get the ball into the final third. West aren’t as adventurous under Potter, preferring to keep it tight and strike on the counter, but they do average 1.11 goals per away game and have scored 20 in total on their travels in the top flight. The final Ipswich Town FC vs West Ham United prediction points towards a closely fought contest, with both sides looking to finish their seasons on a positive note.
