City take another sip of the winner’s tea at the break?

An absolute top match in the Championship between Leicester and Ipswich Town

With a win, they could close the gap on the Foxes to four points. The match also pits two top offensive teams against each other. No team in the British lower division scores more goals than the home side and Town have the second-best record together with Southampton

City also messed up their dress rehearsal the weekend before last. The relegated PL side were beaten 3-1 by the team of the moment from Coventry. Nevertheless, the forecast for the clash between Leicester and Ipswich is for the Foxes to win in the second half

Leicester – Statistics & current form

Leicester have the most successful home record in the Championship. Together with their upcoming opponents, the hosts have already picked up 33 points in front of their own fans, but have one home game less on the clock than Ipswich.

In addition, the aforementioned strong offense is also efficient in home games. On average, they score more than two goals in front of their own fans. Against this backdrop, the prediction of more than one goal by the hosts again is an additional option for the showdown between Leicester and Ipswich

Leicester’s offense is broad-based

One of the advantages of City’s attack is its enormous flexibility. Four players have already scored five or more goals this season. Nevertheless, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall deserves special mention. The 25-year-old is in his third season at Leicester and it can already be described as his best.

Nine goals and nine assists are clear evidence of his current high goal threat. Coach Enzo Maresca is also pleased that Kasey McAteer, another powerful attacking player, has been available again since the last game.

Although the youngster only played one half on his comeback against Coventry after a lengthy injury lay-off, he should now be able to get more game time as he gains more competitive experience. Especially in view of the fact that Issahaku Fatawu, another striker who is normally a regular in the starting eleven, has to miss out this time for the 2016 English champions due to a sending-off in the last league game.

Ipswich – Statistics & current form

The Blues are shaking up the Championship! Having been promoted from League One, the club even has a chance of making it through to the Premier League. The 1981 UEFA Cup winners are strong away from home.

Only their upcoming opponents have scored more points on their footballing business trips than the “Tractor Boys”. However, the away dominance of coach Kieran McKenna’s team has waned of late. The only two away defeats were conceded in the last five away games and one of the shortcomings is the lack of improvement in attack.

For example, it has only scored around half as many goals as Leicester’s away games. In addition, it has also recently dropped off again. They have failed to score in three of their last five away matches

Away defeat to zero for Ipswich?

With the Portman Road side now facing the best home defense in the Championship, allowing less than one goal on average, Leicester vs Ipswich betting tips and odds for a home win to nil are also worth a recommendation.

Leicester – Ipswich head-to-head comparison / H2H result

The direct duel in the first half of the season took place less than a month ago. It ended with a 1-1 draw in Ipswich. It was a lucky point for Town – the equalizer was only scored in the third minute of stoppage time.

From a playing point of view, however, it was deserved, as the promoted League One side were the more active team in the encounter. Thanks to the draw, the hosts are unbeaten in three matches in this fixture (2-1-0).

Furthermore, Ipswich’s last away win at the Foxes was over 21 years ago. Since then, City have won five times in front of their own fans and four times the points have been shared

Leicester – Ipswich betting tip

For the clash between Leicester and Ipswich, the forecast includes a win for the hosts in the second half of the match. As the best home team and league leaders, City are the favorites going into the match, especially as their opponents’ away strength has waned recently.

City’s defense in particular is very solid on home turf. Only seven goals conceded in 13 league games at home are proof of this and represent the best home record in the Championship. The home side’s success in the second half is also supported by their tactical approach at home so far

As a rule, the offense only picks up after the break, while the focus in the first half of the game is primarily on avoiding falling behind. For this reason, the majority (6) of the eleven home victories were accompanied by a draw at the break.

On top of that, the hosts also won once after trailing at half-time in the match against Millwall in mid-December. This further underlines their strength in the second half of games
