The72’s writers make their Carabao Cup prediction for Ipswich Town against Wolves on Tuesday night.
Ipswich Town will attempt to extend their dominant Championship success into the Carabao Cup in their midweek game with Premier League side Wolves. Kieran McKenna’s team is second in the league with seven wins in eight games, including four straight.
On the weekend, the Tractor Boys defeated Blackburn Rovers in an exciting contest. Massimo Luongo’s 79th-minute goal proved to be the game-winner as the hosts won 4-3.
Wolves, on the other hand, have struggled in the early stages of the season, as many expected. They have four points from six games and have only won once.
They were held to a 1-1 tie by Luton Town over the weekend, keeping them in 16th place.
Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the game…
“With the momentum that Ipswich has, I can really see them winning this one.”
“Wolves have a leaky back and can be relatively toothless in attack.” Even though they’ll be playing in the Championship, I can see those issues lingering, especially against a squad in such good form.
“Time will tell how the teams look as many look to rotate as the season progresses.” Ipswich, on the other hand, is my choice to win this game. I’ll bet the hosts win 2-1, giving McKenna and company yet another statement victory.”
Prediction for Ipswich Town against. Wolves: 2-1
