Ipswich Town will want to continue their impressive start to the 2026-27 season when they take on an out of form Leicester City side at Portman Road Stadium in the second round of the EFL Cup. With both teams finding the net in five of their last six encounters across all competitions, our prediction is for both teams to score.
After ending the preseason with a four-match winning streak, Ipswich Town managed to carry that momentum into the competitive campaign.
The Tractor Boys saw their return to the Premier League following one season away start with three points as they beat Sunderland 2-1 at home over the weekend.
Under new management, Gary O'Neil's men will turn their attention to the EFL Cup. In the previous edition, their campaign ended in the first round after a defeat to League Two outfit Bromley.
Leicester City are in the bottom half of the League One standings with a point to their name having failed to win in any of their first two games.
The Foxes' recent match was a 2-1 home defeat against Burton. Before this, they had salvaged a point in their opening match with Notts County settling for a 1-1 draw.
Russell Martin's charges, however, have recorded their first win in the 2026-27 season. That lone victory came in the first round of the EFL Cup as Caleb Okoli's strike secured a 1-0 triumph over Northampton.

Our Ipswich Town vs Leicester Prediction
After starting the season on an impressive note, Ipswich Town will hope to use this momentum and secure their second consecutive win this time against a Leicester City team they've failed to defeat in eight meetings. Six of those encounters ended with both teams scoring.
The visiting team are enduring a difficult start to the campaign but their record in this fixture should provide a boost in confidence. With Leicester seeing both teams find the net in their last four away matches in this fixture, we anticipate the same trend here. Our Ipswich Town vs Leicester City prediction: BTTS.
