Ipswich Town and Leicester City will collide in a crucial bottom-half battle in the Premier League at Portman Road on Saturday evening. The Tractor Boys will enter this match below the dotted line in 18th place, while the Foxes are three spots above them in 15th after nine games. Check out our match prediction below.
The hosts have won each of their last three top-flight home games against this opponent, beating them 4-1 in 1995 and 2-0 in both January and December 2001. These two sides earned automatic promotion to the Premier League last season, and they were inseparable when they faced off last term, with both their league encounters in the Championship ending level.
Despite the current league standings, Ipswich are the bookmakers' favourite heading into this contest, but they have already dropped 10 points from winning positions this season. Let’s get into the key stats at play in this one.

Ipswich Town - Leicester: Form Analysis
Nine games back in the top flight and Ipswich Town are still in search of their first victory, currently on four points all by way of drawn results.
The Tractor Boys have struggled to see out results from good positions this season, as we saw in their last match when they squandered a two-goal lead to lose 4-3 to Brentford on the road.
With that result, Ipswich are now on a three-match losing streak and have earned only two points from four home games so far this term.
Ipswich Town have conceded two or more goals in each of their last four Premier League matches!
Meanwhile, Leicester City suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend and were knocked out in the round of 16 of the EFL Cup by Manchester United 5-2 in midweek.
However, the Foxes have done reasonably well in the league season, holding the likes of Spurs, Palace and Everton to draws, while beating Bournemouth and Southampton to earn nine points to date.
On the road, the visitors have played four games, winning one, drawing one and losing two. They conceded two or more goals in each of those matches but also scored in each of them.

Ipswich Town & Leicester Squad Analysis
Kieran McKenna is facing something of an injury crisis at present with as many as nine players potentially ruled out for this weekend’s fixture.
Former Man United defender Axel Tuanzebe has a hand injury and is out until after the next international break and his defensive partner Jacob Greaves is a major doubt.
Massimo Luongo picked up an injury against Aston Villa, while Jack Taylor sustained a hamstring injury a couple of weeks ago, and both players are out until the end of November.
The remaining players flagged as doubts for the Tractor Boys include Benjamin Johnson (thigh), Omari Hutchinson (illness) and Samy Morsy (muscle).
Janoi Donacien and Chiedozie Ogbene are long-term absentees and will not feature until next year!
For Leicester City, Hamza Choudhury and Patson Daka are both expected to remain on the treatment table until December with a dislocated shoulder and ankle injury respectively.
Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk is reportedly making strides in his recovery from a foot injury but is still at least another two weeks away from making a full return to the first team.
Defensive duo Jannik Vestergaard (foot) and Victor Kristiansen are also ruled out for this match, with the latter picking up a groin strain ahead of their EFL fixture during training last week.

Our Ipswich Town vs Leicester Prediction
Both these sides have done relatively well in attack this season, averaging at least a goal per 90, but they’ve struggled to keep teams out the other end, with the hosts conceding 20 and visitors shipping 17 to date.
Last season, the two games between these sides ended in 1-1 draws in the Championship, and based on their records this term, we feel that both teams will find the net in this one as well. Our Ipswich Town vs Leicester City prediction: Both teams to score!
