Ipswich vs. Leicester: Current situation
Ipswich fans are still waiting for the team’s first win of the season, and as the “Tractor Boys” are playing recently, they will be pretty happy to at least stay undefeated. Ipswich is pretty solid on the offensive end, but the transition game has proved to be a huge problem and cost them a lot of goals so far in the season. Manager Kieran McKenna has a limited quality on the roster, and many injuries are giving him even less room to create something.
Leicester is another team who had a difficult start to the season, but a pair of consecutive wins changed the path the Foxes are going. They are looking pretty safe at the moment, and Steve Cooper knows how to keep the pace he puts his team on. Leicester has a group of guys with heavy Premier League experience, and they can be the difference-makers in games like this.
Ipswich Stats & Form
Ipswich is still chasing for the first win of the season, and winning four points so far is good just for the top spot in the relegation zone. Just when the fans thought that the team was ready for the first triumph of the season, the “Tractor Boys” went on a three-game losing streak, which has seen them drop in the standings. The last loss against Brentford was especially painful since Ipswich had a two-goal lead at the half-hour mark but still was empty-handed in the end.
Leicester Stats & Form
Leicester managed to get back to the Premier League after only one season in the Championship, and the “Foxes” are determined to stay in the elite. After a rough start of the season, they defeated Bournemouth and Southampton in back-to-back games, and now things look way more promising. Leicester is pretty solid on the offensive end, scoring 13 goals in 9 games, but their poor defense has cost them many points so far in the season.
Ipswich – Leicester: Head to Head
Leicester has won 5 of the last 10 games against Ipswich, while the “Tractor Boys” have won two with the remaining three ending in a tie. Last season in the championship, both games ended 1-1. Leicester’s last win was in 2014 while for the last Ipswich’s win we have to go way back to 2013. Six of their last ten matchups went over 2.5 goals in total.

Betting tip and prediction: Ipswich - Leicester (02.11.2024)
It is clear that these two teams will be fighting to survive in the Premier League, and regardless of the fact that Leicester is in a better situation at the moment, this game can change everything. Ipswich is still waiting for their first win of the season, and the “Tractor Boys” believe that this will be the day for celebration. Many are pointing their fingers to manager Kieran McKenna, but it is a fact that he is taking out the best out of the roster he has. The lack of experience playing on this level is evident, but the passion and competitive spirit are there, and as long as that is the case, Ipswich fans can be excited about the season. McKenna will have a tough task bringing out the right 11 to start the game with as he has a long list of injured players. Defenders Jacob Greaves, Benjamin Johnson, and Axel Tuanzebe are all out, just like midfielders Jens Cajuste and Massimo Luongo and striker Ali Al-Hamadi. On the other side, Leicester’s manager Steve Cooper has more room to breathe as the “Foxes” won a couple of games and are above the relegation zone for now. They are pretty good offensively, which gives them a certain advantage in this game. Defenders Victor Kristiansen and Jannik Vestergaard are out of the rotation for Saturday’s match, which makes Leicester’s defending line more vulnerable than usual. This is a game in which both teams look for an opportunity to win, which will dramatically affect their current state in the standings. We expect a “gloves off” fight with both teams being aggressive, which will take the game over 2.5 goals in total.
