Our prediction for the match Leicester City vs Ipswich Town
The clubs played in the Championship last season. The former champion from Kings Power, having fallen in 2023, returned immediately, and from 1st place, justifying optimistic expectations under the leadership of Maresca. After that, Enzo “defected” to Chelsea. The opponent had just risen from the League One after a break and managed to take 2nd place there from the very first trial.
Being at the Premier League level, both showed themselves weakly – they are the neighbours in the relegation zone, ahead of only the completely failed Southampton. Leicester replaced Cooper with Van Nistelrooy, but the lion’s share of matches ended in defeat (although sometimes the club tripped up the opponents, and even beat Southampton). And the battle against Nottingham Forest brought a 2-2 draw. It goes without saying that McKenna retains his position due to his previous achievements, and the expectations were appropriate. It is curious that the team has taken points only on the away field since February. Speaking about the previous round, the club played with a 0-1 score in the meeting with Brentford.
Vardy, who will leave the club in the summer, and his team score 0.86 goals per match. They concede 2.17 goals in return. The guests have shown themselves slightly better, scoring on average almost a goal and conceding 2.14 goals per game.
