LiontipsIpswich vs Leicester. Prediction (odds 2.30) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Ipswich have not won a single Premier League victory in nine rounds played. Moreover, if at the start the “tractor drivers” clung to points, imposed serious resistance on their opponents, then in the last matches they have not even done that. They conceded four goals from West Ham (1:4) and Brentford (3:4), two from Everton (0:2). The defense regularly fails, and this is not the most pleasant sign on the eve of the game with Leicester, which knows how to clearly realize its few moments in attack. At the moment, Kieran McKenna’s charges have already conceded 20 goals, only Wolverhampton have conceded more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Morsy, Luongo, Ogbene, Tuanzebe, Taylor and Greaves are all out with injuries. Harrison Clarke is suspended. Johnson and Hutchinson are doubtful.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ipswich have been behind in the first half in four of their last five matches
- In six of the team last eight Premier League matches, the bet on both teams to score has paid off
Probable line-up : Muric - O'Shea, Wolfenden, Burgess, Davis - Phillips, Cajuste - Burns, Chaplin, Smodic - Delapa.
Current form
Leicester have gradually adapted after returning from the Championship and are currently coping with the main task of maintaining their place in the league. The Foxes have nine points and are in 15th place, with a five-point gap from the relegation zone. It should be noted that Steve Cooper men are able to get the most out of their games when possible, in matches against less formidable opponents. They have won two league games against Southampton (3:2) and Bournemouth (1:0). This week, Leicester had an unsuccessful League Cup match against Manchester United (2:5).
Disqualifications and injuries
Daka and Stolarczyk will not play today due to injuries. Choudhury and Christensen are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leicester have won in the first half in only one of their last five matches
- In nine of the previous ten matches, the team has been betting on an exchange of goals scored
Probable line-up : Hermansen - Pereira, Fahs, Okolie, Justin - Winks, Ndidi - Fatawu, Buonanotte, Mavididi - Vardy.

In three of the last four matches, the visitors scored goals in the opening 45 minutes
2.14Bet Exact score 1:2
Leicester have won two Premier League games by one goal
10.50Tip and bets
Ipswich have looked too unconvincing in recent matches, with regular defensive lapses. There are serious doubts that the team deserves the favourite status that bookmakers have given them. Leicester have repeatedly demonstrated that they can clearly punish their opponents for mistakes, and the same experienced Vardy in attack is capable of single-handedly ensuring a positive result. Given the odds, we recommend betting on the visitors.
Our prediction is a Leicester win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.30
Bet on total
Last season the rivals played in the Championship and in two head-to-head matches they ended in a draw with the same score of 1:1. We think that today an exchange of goals is quite likely.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.65
Bet on the first half
Ipswich have been very uncertain in the opening stages, having lost four of their last five matches in the first half. We expect in our forecast that the visitors will not lose in this stage.
Prediction: Leicester will not lose in the first half with odds of 1.42
