Ipswich Town holds the upper hand lately in the clashes against Leicester City. Out of the last five head-to-head matches in the Premier League, Leicester City has won one game while Ipswich Town has won two, and the remaining two games ended in a draw.

Still, Leicester City has showcased a better record in the recent head-to-head encounters across all competitions and also holds the home ground advantage, which increases their chances of winning.

Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Predictions and Betting Tips

Leicester City goes to the upcoming Premier League clash against Ipswich Town as the favourites to win. Having a nearly strong record over them in the head-to-head encounters, combined with the home ground advantage, it is a great opportunity for Leicester City to regain its winning momentum in the tournament. On the other hand, Ipswich Town will be looking forward to securing a win in the next game, as they have the upper hand in the recent clashes against each other. Therefore, Leicester City, with the odds of 2.34, has a higher chance of winning the next game against Ipswich Town, with the odds of 3.02.

Finally, Leicester City has started to show some great performances, but the team is still in 19th place with 5 wins and 24 losses in 36 games. Their attacking end has not been very formidable as well in the sense that they have only managed to score 31 goals in this term, which means that their rate of goals per match now stands at 0.86, and they have also made 323 shots, with 108 shots on target. And along with that, the team also managed to score 2 penalties but only produced 45 big chances in the course of this campaign. Their defensive position is not helping any better since they have given out 78 goals, which puts the goals conceded per match rate at 2.17. Leicester City, however, has managed to pull 2 clean sheets and save 128 times in a total of 36 games played.

Jamie Vardy still remains the key player for Leicester City, having scored 8 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances. In the forwards, the team got impressive players such as Stephy Mavididi, with 4 goals and an assist in 30 appearances, Patson Daka, with a goal in 21 appearances, Jordan Ayew, with 5 goals in 29 appearances, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, with a goal and 2 assists in 23 appearances. The midfield has not contributed much when it comes to goals, as the only goal scorers include Facundo Buonanotte, with 5 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances, and Bilal El Khannouss, with 2 goals and 3 assists in 31 appearances. However, their defensive side has been a bit active in scoring goals, consisting of players such as Wout Faes, with a goal in 32 appearances, Conor Coady, with a goal in 20 appearances, James Justin, with 2 goals and an assist in 34 appearances, and Caleb Okoli, with a goal in 19 appearances. For goalkeeping, Leicester has two notable options which including Jakub Stolarczyk, with a clean sheet and 21 saves in 8 appearances, and Mads Hermansen, with a clean sheet and 103 saves in 27 appearances.

Leicester City is in good shape with a good squad to prepare for the next game against Ipswich Town, but its defensive side needs some improvement. In the last 5 matches that were played, the team was able to score 6 goals cumulatively but scored 8 goals in the course of the matches, which turned out to be a disadvantage to the defensive unit. From the last five games that they had won against Ipswich Town in all their competitions, they had only managed to win with a clean sheet in two. From these stats, it is likely that Leicester City will win the next game against Ipswich Town without a clean sheet.

In that regard, Ipswich Town has one more win than Leicester City from the head-to-head matches played, and this might be helpful for them to win this match if their line-up has a good performance. Overall, the team has not done well, having 4 wins and 22 losses in the 36 matches, thus qualifying in 18th position. In their last five games, they have only scored 4 goals and have conceded 12.

Having scored 2 penalties, Ipswich Town managed to generate only 44 big chances in all the games played. Their defensive side has also not been doing well, with them having let in 77 goals; this means that their goals average conceded per match rate stands at 2.14. But the team has managed to obtain 2 clean sheets and 130 saves from 36 games.

Liam Delap has been the sole performer for Ipswich Town this season, scoring 12 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances. There are several other forwards who have found the net this season for the team, including Conor Chaplin, with a goal and an assist in 20 appearances, George Hirst, with 3 goals and an assist in 24 appearances, Nathan Broadhead, with a goal in 16 appearances, Omari Hutchinson, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances, and Jaden Philogene, with 2 goals in 21 appearances.

Alex Palmer has been the key performer at the goalpost, but he only holds 44 saves in 12 appearances with no clean sheet.

Favorites to win

Leicester City

Leicester City is heading into the next Premier League clash against Ipswich Town as the clear favourites to win. They have won almost the same head-to-head encounters against Ipswich, and also take home ground advantage, which could help them to rank up in the points table. In their last five matches, Leicester has secured one win and two losses, while the remaining two games ended in a draw. On the other hand, Ipswich Town will be looking forward to a win in this game, as they have won more head-to-head encounters lately. But their form remains a concern, as the team holds three losses and two draws in their last five matches. We predict Leicester City to win the next game against Ipswich Town by a margin of at least one goal.
