Ipswich will look to give their supporters something to cheer about at Portman Road as they host West Ham in their final Premier League match of the season.
As the season draws to a close, Ipswich find themselves reflecting on a challenging return to the Championship. Almost a month has passed since their relegation was confirmed, yet on the pitch, the struggles have continued. The Tractor Boys have yet to find victory in their last three matches, and the most recent defeat to Leicester pushed them even further down the table. However, Kieran McKenna has been vocal in his belief that this squad has the potential to bounce back, aiming for a swift promotion at the first opportunity.
One benefit of their early relegation is the extended preparation time for next year’s Championship campaign. Yet, optimism remains in short supply among the home fans, especially given the team’s ongoing woes at Portman Road. Ipswich have endured defeat in every home league game in 2025 so far, and with only a single Premier League win on their own ground all season, confidence has certainly taken a hit. Their last meeting with West Ham ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat, adding another layer of difficulty to this weekend’s task.
West Ham arrive looking to end a disappointing campaign of their own. The Hammers have experienced one of their toughest Premier League seasons since 2010/11. Defensively, it has been a year to forget, as they have conceded more goals in a calendar year than at any time in nearly six decades. Under Graham Potter, the side has managed just three clean sheets in 2025, though each one was followed by a victory. For West Ham, a solid defensive display could well be the foundation for a positive result, especially when facing a team that has struggled for goals.
Despite their overall struggles, West Ham have developed a knack for finishing the season on a down note. The last three league campaigns have each concluded with a defeat, and another here would see them repeat a sequence only once previously in their history. Given their strong record against Ipswich in recent years, with just one loss in the last seventeen top-flight meetings, the visitors will be hopeful of avoiding an unwanted statistic.
The head-to-head history between these two clubs certainly favors the Hammers. West Ham have often found success against Ipswich, with consistent performances in previous encounters giving them an edge. However, with both teams eager to end difficult seasons on a positive note, there is plenty of motivation to deliver a memorable performance for their travelling and home supporters.
A few players will be eager to make their mark before the summer break. Liam Delap, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season with twelve goals, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. His goal in the reverse fixture was a highlight, and he will want to add to his tally in front of the Ipswich faithful. On the other side, Tomáš Souček has been in fine scoring form away from home, finding the net in West Ham’s last two away matches and tallying six of his nine league goals on the road.
There is a clear trend for both teams when conceding first. Neither Ipswich nor West Ham has managed to secure a win in the league after falling behind this season. This stat suggests that the opening goal could play a decisive role in determining the outcome on Sunday.
While the Premier League journey is coming to a close for Ipswich, the focus has already begun to shift towards regrouping and planning for the challenges of the Championship. For West Ham, a strong finish would at least offer a silver lining to an otherwise tough campaign, helping restore some pride before the summer break.
As the curtain falls on another dramatic season, supporters on both sides will be hoping for a final ninety minutes filled with effort and a few moments of magic. With pride on the line and players keen to impress, the stage is set for an entertaining conclusion at Portman Road.
