Our predictions for Ipswich vs West Ham
This match marks the end of a challenging season for both teams, with Ipswich already relegated and West Ham looking to finish on a high note. Expect West Ham to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities, while Ipswich will look to counter-attack and make the most of their home advantage.
Given the disparity in form and the impact of injuries on Ipswich, West Ham are likely to secure the victory. The Hammers' attacking prowess, led by Bowen and Kudus, should be too much for the depleted Ipswich side to handle.
