Wolves team news and predicted XI vs Ipswich: Unchanged but more of the same for Vitor Pereira

Wolves are preparing to travel to Ipswich Town for their next Premier League game of the season.

Although nine points clear of the relegation zone, Vitor Pereira is looking to make it three wins on the bounce with a victory over the Tractor Boys.

Latest Wolves team news

Wolves came away from their match against West Ham unscathed so Pereira has most of his best players available for this weekend’s clash.

Despite Rodrigo Gomes and Goncalo Guedes both missing out against the Hammers, the pair are available for selection this weekend. Pereira spoke positively about Gomes and Guedes ahead of the match.

Leon Chiwone (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee) and Sasa Kalajdzic (knee) are all ruled out, though.

Matheus Cunha is suspended following a straight red card against Bournemouth in the FA Cup fifth round last month. The Brazilian is not eligible to return to competitive action until April 13, 2025.

Predicted Wolves lineup vs Ipswich Town

Cunha’s ban means Pereira has fewer attacking options, but while the South American would’ve probably been included, Strand Larsen’s form means the Wolves manager won’t have as many concerns.

Elsewhere, the rest of the team, on form, picks itself. Pereira is unlikely to make any changes from the Wolves team that beat West Ham 1-0 at the start of the week.

A graphic predicting Wolves' starting lineup against Ipswich Town.
Possible Wolves lineup against Ipswich Town.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde should keep his place up top with Marshall Munetsi, whose best work is going under the radar, proving forward support.

Brazilian duo Andre and Joao Gomes will keep their places in midfield with Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo offering wide support in their familiar wing-back roles.

Toti Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou and Matt Doherty should continue as the three-man backline with goalkeeper Jose Sa retaining his place in between the sticks.
