Ipswich to Win

Reason for tip

Ipswich look the bet at home to Leicester. They are third, strong at Portman Road and come in winning eight of their last nine league games. Leicester are in a slump away, winless in eight road trips and leaking goals almost every week. Ipswich have been scoring freely and should have too much.

Ipswich 1-0

Reason for tip

Ipswich 1-0 is the correct-score call. They have been solid defensively, keeping clean sheets in four of their last five home games and conceding very little at Portman Road. Leicester struggle away and concede regularly, but Ipswich have shown they can win tight games, as in their recent 1-0 over Hull, so another narrow success fits.

Ipswich can keep rolling at Portman Road

Ipswich look set to continue their winning streak when Leicester visit Portman Road on Saturday. Kieran McKenna’s side have been strong at home this season, winning 12 of their 18 games, while Leicester have won just four of their 18 away matches.

They are third in the league, 19 places and 29 points above Leicester, who are 22nd with ten wins, ten draws and 15 defeats from their 35 games this season.

Ipswich maintained their winning habit with a 1-0 victory over Hull, securing their twelfth win in eighteen matches when odds-on. Azor Matusiwa scored the only goal of the game in the 71st minute and Ipswich had chances to beat Hull by more than the one-goal margin.

The Ipswich attack has been enjoying a prolific spell in front of goal, having scored in 18 of their last 19 league games. They have found the net at least twice in four of their last five Championship matches, including a 3-0 win over Swansea last weekend.

Ipswich seem to be firing on all cylinders at home, having been winners in eight of their last nine Championship games. They have gone 12 without defeat on their own patch and come into this game enjoying two straight successes.

Ipswich look solid in defence this season, having kept clean sheets in four of their last five home games. They have conceded just 12 goals in 18 matches at home – an average of 0.67 goals per game – and no Championship side has shipped fewer goals than the 34 they have conceded in their 34 games overall.

The visitors are out of form. Leicester have not won any of their last eight Championship away games and have only tasted victory on one of their last ten road trips.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence, with Leicester failing to keep a clean sheet in 30 of their last 31 Championship games. They have conceded on each of their last 16 road trips, shipping 31 goals away from home this season – an average of 1.72 goals per game from 18 matches.

Ipswich were 1-0 winners against Hull in their last Championship game and a narrow home success appeals in the correct-score market. Back Ipswich to edge it 1-0.
