West Ham vs Ipswich: Premier League Prediction Match Details
West Ham United will welcome Ipswich to the London Stadium for their round seven fixtures of the English Premier League 2024/25 season on Saturday afternoon. Which team will end their underwhelming performance in the new campaign?
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham has struggled with form since the appointment of their new head coach, Julen Lopetegui, in the summer, as the hammers have only recorded one win in their opening six matches. They managed to salvage a point in their last game against Brentford at the weekend, with the match ending in a dramatic 1-1. This came after a heavy 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup at the Anfield Stadium. The Hammers’s underwhelming performance in the league now keeps them in 14th place in the league table with five points.
Julen Lopetegui will anticipate his side can end their disappointing form on their home soil as they have lost all three of their Premier League home games this season.
Ipswich Preview & Form
Ipswich have also endured an underwhelming performance since their promotions to the top flight, as they are among the five teams that have failed to win any of their first six Premier League matches. The Blues extended their undefeated league run to four games in their last match against Aston Villa on their home soil, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw. They have played back-to-back draws against Fulham, Brighton, Southampton, and Aston Villa. Currently, the New Boys sit 14th in the league table with four points. They have scored five league goals in their new campaign but have conceded ten goals so far.
The Tractor Boys will be hoping to make life difficult for West Ham, as their road form has seen two consecutive draws and a defeat.
