Ipswich vs Leicester Prediction 26.12.2023

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 26.12.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Portman Road (Ipswich)

A heavy defeat in the previous round against direct rivals in the battle for the Premier League Leeds by as much as 4-0 forced Ipswich to take their position seriously. 10 points more than their rivals gave them a certain comfort and relaxation, but now that advantage is only 7 points, and the duel against the leading team in the table, Leicester, follows. Before this defeat, Ipswich also had a not-so-good performance against Norwich at home, 2-2

By almost all parameters, Leicester is the best team in the Championship this season and will quickly return to where they deserve, the Premier League. The league's best attack and defense did a masterful job in the previous round, beating Rotherham 3-0. Leicester has lost only once on away games so far and in 14 of the previous 15 away games they managed to score at least one goal.

Ipswich vs Leicester pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Ipswich is a very efficient team at home, in fact, with 32 goals in 11 matches played, the most efficient in the league. In the last 4 matches, they scored 10 goals in this stadium. Leicester is a very good defensive team, so now it won't be so easy, but Ipswich will play with an offensive mind, regardless of the name of the rival, so there could be goals here. Leicester scored 5 goals in the last 2 away games and both teams to score is a serious option for this match.
