Wolves have left Ipswich 12 points from safety with just seven games to go after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Portman Road.
Substitute Pablo Sarabia turned the game for Wolves, scoring his first goal in nearly five months before setting up Jorgen Strand Larsen’s winner in the closing stages of the game.
Ipswich led through Liam Delap after 16 minutes, but are now facing a near-impossible task to stay up, with seven games to go and matches against Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle next.
Wolves’ win also means Southampton’s relegation to the Championship will be confirmed if they lose at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Sarabia had only been on the pitch seven minutes before firing in the equaliser from just inside the box and then set up Strand Larsen for his fourth goal in three games.
Delap’s 12th league goal of the season gave Ipswich the perfect start as he nipped ahead of Jose Sa to poke in Dara O’Shea’s nod down after 16 minutes, but they are now almost certain to go down in their first season back.
Wolves could now be looking to move up the table after closing the gap on Spurs to two points ahead of their meeting next week.
