Ipswich take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the 1/16-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 26th at Portman Road (Ipswich).
Ipswich may attempt to achieve their second promotion in a row. The Tractor Boys is a team that once had the likes of Al Ramsey and Bobby Robson working effectively. Perhaps in the future, Kieran McKenna will be added to the list of top coaches. The young man from Northern Ireland (who reached the U-21 level) was once part of Tottenham's structure but couldn't fulfill his potential as a player due to health issues. However, at the age of 37, he is an experienced coach who has lifted the legendary club to the Championship in just two years and established it as one of the leaders in the competition. They even managed to defeat Blackburn in a shootout, winning 4-3. Moreover, they also eliminated Bristol Rovers and Blackburn in the EFL Cup.

The Wolves started as underdogs in the previous campaign as well. However, during the winter, they convinced Lopetegi to come to England, and his skill was enough to bring order and finish the season well clear of the relegation zone. Then, it was a matter of having the wisdom to see that the club's bosses, while selling key players (Ruben Neves and Mateusz Nunez brought in over £110 million), weren't particularly concerned about finding replacements for them. The manager left just a week before the start of the new Premier League season. His replacement, O'Neill, has only managed a minimal victory over Everton, in addition to a cup thrashing of Blackpool. However, the match against Luton ended in a 1-1 draw.
Wolves have not lost in their last seven consecutive matches. They were able to win in both of their last two, but that was in the 2017/2018 Championship. The guests have a slight advantage in the odds. However, the Tractor Boys appear to be in better form. We recommend betting on them with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Wolverhampton to win with 0,0 handicap.
