Ipswich vs. West Ham preview

Ipswich Town's Premier League farewell has been anything but celebratory, with the Tractor Boys suffering through a dismal eight-match losing streak at Portman Road while conceding a staggering 25 goals in the process.

West Ham arrive with their own disappointments to process, sitting 15th after a season that's seen the London club underperform despite occasional bright spots under Graham Potter, including impressive away victories at Arsenal and Manchester United.

Both sides enter Sunday's finale looking to salvage some pride from forgettable campaigns, with Ipswich hampered by injuries to key players like Arijanet Muric and Jaden Philogene while the Hammers will be without Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville.

The visitors will fancy their chances of repeating their 4-1 victory from the reverse fixture, particularly with talents like Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus at their disposal against a relegated side that has leaked goals with alarming regularity.

McKenna's men have struggled for offensive output recently, finding the net just four times in their last six matches, which plays into the hands of a West Ham side looking to give their traveling supporters something to cheer about heading into a summer of anticipated change.

Ipswich vs. West Ham betting tips

West Ham United to Win (5/4)

West Ham @ Ipswich

Ipswich have been struggling desperately with just one win in their last 18 Premier League matches, suggesting they'll limp to the season's finish line.

West Ham have shown genuine improvement lately with impressive victories over Manchester United and Arsenal, demonstrating they still have something to play for.

The Hammers have run several quality opponents close recently, including Liverpool and Brighton, showing competitive form when the Tractor Boys are faltering.

Ipswich's home form has completely collapsed with eight consecutive defeats at Portman Road, giving West Ham a perfect opportunity to end their season positively.

With Graham Potter steadying the ship at West Ham, they should have enough quality to secure all three points against a team that's already mentally on the beach.

West Ham United to Win 2-0 (14/1)

West Ham @ Ipswich

Ipswich's defensive woes at home have been staggering, conceding 25 goals across their eight consecutive home defeats.

West Ham have shown more defensive solidity under Graham Potter but haven't been free-scoring, yet to net more than twice in any game under his management.

The Hammers' recent 2-0 victory at Old Trafford provides a perfect template for how they might approach this final day fixture.

Ipswich's lack of attacking threat against Premier League opposition has been evident throughout the season, making a clean sheet highly possible for West Ham.

With nothing but pride to play for, expect a professional rather than spectacular performance from West Ham, doing enough to secure a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Tomas Soucek To Score Anytime (11/4)

West Ham @ Ipswich

Tomas Soucek has rediscovered his goalscoring touch this season and stands just one goal away from matching his best-ever Premier League tally of ten.

The big Czech midfielder has been particularly dangerous on the road, netting three goals in his last five away matches.

Ipswich have been particularly vulnerable at defending set-pieces, conceding 13 goals from such situations this season.

Soucek's aerial prowess makes him the perfect player to exploit Ipswich's weakness in the air, especially from corners and free-kicks.

West Ham will likely focus on set-piece opportunities against a fragile Ipswich defense, giving Soucek numerous chances to add to his impressive scoring record.
