Ipswich vs Leicester Prediction

Ipswich Form

Ipswich endured a tough spell in their previous three matches, which brought three defeats. They lost 4-1 against West Ham, before Everton won 0-2, while Brentford claimed a victory in a 4-3 match. Ipswich just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Portman Road. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded eight goals.

Leicester Form

Leicester have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 2-3 win against Southampton. Unable to follow that up, they went down 1-3 against Nottingham Forest, before suffering another loss in a 5-2 match against Manchester United. Leicester managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring 15 time and letting in 11.

It seems both Leicester and Ipswich have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.

Ipswich won one points from their last two encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored one and let in three goals. Leicester earned one wins and five points from their past three matches against teams placed in the bottom six of the Premier League table. They scored six and allowed five goals against on their way. Ipswich are looking at a record of zero wins, four draws and five defeats in the Premier League this season.
