West Ham entered the season with high expectations and significantly strengthened their squad, yet so far they have not met those hopes. With just five points from six matches, they sit in 14th place in the standings, right next to their opponents today who have one point less. In their last four matches, Julen Lopetegui's team has alternated wins and draws. In their recent game, they had the chance to clinch a victory against a struggling Wolverhampton, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw, requiring them to come from behind.

The only player uncertain for today's match is Füllkrug.

Today marks a pivotal moment for the home team. West Ham's winless streak has dragged on, and if they can't secure a victory against Ipswich at home, the reasoning behind their significant offseason acquisitions comes into question. While guests should not be underestimated, the London squad is undoubtedly superior in terms of quality. We believe the hosts will find a way to end their unfortunate run without a win.
Our prediction is a West Ham victory with odds of 1.82
Total Bet
In their last five matches, West Ham has only failed to exchange goals with their opponents once. Ipswich consistently finds the net, yet struggles to defend reliably. We believe there is a strong likelihood that both teams will score today.
Our second bet is both teams to score with odds of 1.70.
Corner Bet
Ipswich has won the corner count in three of their last four matches. We feel that bookmakers may be slightly underestimating the visitors in this aspect.
Our prediction is Ipswich to win the corner count with a handicap of (+2.5) at odds of 1.61.
