In the second half, the Wolves need to manage their emotions before concentrating on their game. They've been overly aggressive, which is hindering their performance.

It’s been an intense 45 minutes at Molineux, with just one goal separating the two teams as they enter halftime. The first half has been rather tense, leading to numerous interruptions that have disrupted the game's rhythm. Ipswich took the lead in the 15th minute after a slow start to the match, and the goal was quite amusing. Hutchinson missed a close-range chance, and after a goal-line clearance, Chaplin’s shot was deflected by two Wolves defenders before trickling into the net, putting Ipswich up 1-0. Wolves had a fantastic opportunity to level the score shortly afterward, but Bellegarde shot over the bar from inside the area. There was also a VAR review for potential violent conduct, and as the tension rises, we can expect more cards in the second half. According to Opta’s live win probability, Wolves have a 17% chance of winning, Ipswich 55.3%, and a draw stands at 27.2%. So far, Wolves have generated an expected goals (xG) of 0.26, while Ipswich has managed 0.61 xG.

Kieran McKenna will likely share O’Neil’s frustration about the way the early part of the season has unfolded. Ipswich has only achieved one victory in their first 15 matches, with their latest result being a heartbreaking late defeat at home against Bournemouth. They currently sit in 18th place in the Premier League, and the only reason they aren’t further down the table is that they have managed to secure six points from draws. While the team has demonstrated moments of genuine skill, they urgently need to snag another win to alleviate concerns about relegation.

Gary O’Neil’s squad had a rough start to the Premier League season, but he must be happy to see his team exhibiting a strong will to secure victories and putting forth some solid displays. They have managed to win just two out of their 15 matches so far, along with three draws. Many believe that Wolves shouldn’t be languishing in the relegation zone, but a few controversial VAR calls against them and a manager facing the possibility of dismissal have contributed to a gloomy atmosphere within the club.
