Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips: Leicester to Win

Currently with 68 points, Leicester firmly holds the Championship lead. At this point, it looks like they will easily secure an automatic promotion to the Premier League after just 12 months. They are in a comfortable position, ten steps ahead of the playoff spots and third-placed Southampton.

Despite suffering a 1-3 defeat against Coventry on the road, which marked their first loss after an 11-game unbeaten streak, the Foxes have the opportunity to move closer to the second-tier title on Monday night. If they manage to secure a full three points against Ipswich, they could extend their lead to double digits.

Even though head coach Enzo Maresca is suspended due to a yellow card and won’t be on the touchline, the East Midlands team is confident of winning the top-of-the-table clash. Their confidence stems from their impressive home record, having secured nine victories in their last ten Championship matches in front of their loyal fans.

Even more impressive is Leicester’s relentless efficiency in their final third during recent games at the King Power Stadium. They’ve managed to rattle the opponent’s net at least three times in each of their last four home victories. On Monday evening, they plan to maintain their aggressive offensive strategy to prove their worth.

Conversely, Ipswich managed to recover from recent mishaps, raising team spirits ahead of the season’s crucial match. They successfully made a late comeback in a 2-1 victory over Sunderland, despite being one goal down. This allowed them to keep a three-point lead over Southampton, who are close on their heels.

Looking at the bigger picture, last week’s hard-earned win at Portman Road against the play-off chasers was only the first success in England’s second-tier for Kieran McKenna’s men in the past month, having succumbed to a heavy 0-4 defeat at Leeds and four times sharing points during that time. For that reason, we believe Ipswich hasn’t exuded enough confidence lately to match up against the strong promotion favorite, so Leicester’s victory should be taken into consideration.
