Ipswich vs Leicester predictions
Ipswich 2-2 Leicester (12/1 with BetMGM)
Ipswich have failed to win any of their four Premier League home matches, while each of Leicester’s previous road games has seen over scored over 2.5 goals in them. Both sides look evenly matched on paper but both possess goals within their side and this could lead to a high scoring game. Both sides have only been able to keep one clean sheet this season and it’s hard to see this match finishing without goals at both ends.
Liam Delap to score anytime (21/10 with BetMGM)
Liam Delap scored in two of Ipswich’s previous three home Premier League matches (three goals). The young striker has been in fine form, netting five times overall in the Premier League and he’s looked Ipswich’s most dangerous player. His time on the pitch has been shared with George Hirst but when he’s been on the field, he’s found the net as seen by his late goal against Brentfored last time out.m

How both teams go into Ipswich vs Leicester
Having secured their Premier League return after 22 years away from England’s top division, Ipswich hasn’t found life back in the big time any easy with Kieran Mckenna’s side one of three teams yet to secure a win in front of their supporters this season. After their opening four matches at Portman Road, the Tractor Boys have accumulated two points, and both of those results show them snatching a draw from victory. Ipswich led against Fulham while they rescued a point in their Aston Villa clash despite going in front.
Leicester City, which secured promotion after winning the Championship last term, also started slowly, but they’ve recently found their footing, which included their first success on the road after picking up one point from nine available. However, that success came against play-off winners Southampton, with Steve Cooper’s men trailing 2-0 before rallying in the second half, leading to a 90th-minute winner.
Ipswich host Leicester at Portman Road on Saturday 2nd September at 3pm.

Jakub Stolarczyk and Patson Daka remain sidelined for the Foxes whilst there are concerns over Hamza Choudhury, Victor Kristiansen and Issahaku Fatawu.
