Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Preview and Team News

Leicester City Team News

Sunday’s match at the King Power Stadium will be all about giving a fond farewell to a Leicester legend. Jamie Vardy will play for his club for the last time in front of his home fans. The squad’s recent form will give them hope, as they’ve taken four points from a possible six.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men have only won 17% of their meetings at the King Power Stadium this season. Meanwhile, they have netted just 0.72 efforts per home game from an xG of 1.19. They’ve also battled defensively after conceding 1.89 per 90 with an xGA of 1.73. 

Harry Winks is still banned by the club. Mads Hermansen, Bobby Reid, Ricardo Pereira, and Stephy Mavididi have all been ruled out until the start of the Championship season.

Ipswich Town Team News

Ipswich Town will continue to prepare for a return to the second tier this weekend. They come up against one of their likely 2025-26 promotion rivals. They’ve suffered defeats in 22 of their 36 Premier League matches this term, and currently have the third-worst defensive record.

The squad have performed slightly better in their away games this season, winning 17% of their fixtures compared to the 6% of wins recorded at Portman Road. Ipswich Town have also allowed just two goals per 90 on the road compared to an estimated 2.28 conceded at home.

Leif Davis will be available following his suspension this weekend. Sammie Szmodics and Conor Townsend could also both be named among the subs. However, Jaden Philogene isn’t set to return to training until June.

Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Prediction 

• Pick: Leicester City
• Odds: 2.29 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Leicester 2-0 Ipswich

It’s tricky to have too much confidence in either of these sides, as both Leicester and Ipswich have disappointed throughout the campaign. However, the home club have played much better across their last two events. Tremendous confidence would have been gained following a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest last weekend. 

It could also be worth noting before making a Leicester City vs Ipswich Town prediction that the home squad have avoided defeat in each of their previous five meetings against the visitors. 

Bettors may also be tempted to side with Jamie Vardy to score on his final home appearance for Leicester City. The striker is just one effort away from 200 goals for the club.
