Pre-game Form
In their last five appearances at home, Leicester’s performance has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They managed a commendable 2-0 victory against Southampton but faced setbacks against Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Brentford. These results suggest that while capable of securing wins, consistency remains a critical issue for them.
Ipswich’s recent form on the road mirrors a similar inconsistency. A promising 2-2 draw against Everton and a victory against AFC Bournemouth highlighted their potential. However, hefty defeats from Newcastle United and a loss to Crystal Palace, alongside another draw against Chelsea, underlines the challenges they face away from home.

Notably, both teams have experienced their share of triumphs and tribulations when facing one another, with Leicester delivering a thumping 6-0 victory back in November 2012, and Ipswich retaliating with a 6-1 win in August 2002. Such results highlight the unpredictable nature of this fixture.

Considering their biggest wins and losses, it’s clear that when these two sides meet, the potential for a high-scoring or dramatically one-sided match cannot be discounted.
Match Predictions

Leicester have demonstrated they possess enough quality at home to secure wins; yet their inconsistency may prove costly in tight home fixtures.
