“They’re still in control of their own destiny,” he added. “Those extra fixtures could change everything. I truly believe they will secure promotion back to the Premier League.”

Debate is intensifying over the promotion hopes of Ipswich Town after two well-known pundits clashed over the club’s chances of returning to the top flight.

“Before you criticize them, remember they have two games in hand,” one pundit firmly stated during the heated exchange. With Ipswich currently sitting fourth and still having two outstanding matches to play, he argued that the table does not yet tell the full story.

“They’re still in control of their own destiny,” he added. “Those extra fixtures could change everything. I truly believe they will secure promotion back to the Premier League.”

But the opposing pundit wasn’t convinced.

In a blunt assessment, he questioned Ipswich’s consistency and suggested they may fall short when it matters most. In a move that shocked both viewers and supporters, he even revealed he had placed a substantial bet on the club failing to go up.

“Huge stake on Ipswich not qualifying,” he announced — a statement that quickly set social media alight.

Fans were divided in response. Many defended the team, highlighting the importance of the two games in hand and insisting critics are writing them off too early. Others admitted the pressure is mounting as the season edges toward its decisive phase.

With everything still to play for, those outstanding fixtures could ultimately define Ipswich’s campaign — and settle the argument once and for all.
