Ipswich vs Leicester — Tips & Analysis

Ipswich -0.75: Two divisions now split these clubs, and that is the case in one line. Ipswich opened their Premier League season by beating Sunderland 2-1. Leicester are a League One side now, and they lost 1-2 at home to Burton Albion on Saturday. Portman Road matters here too. Ipswich have not lost in their last seven home games, with four wins and three ties. They score almost 2 goals a game there and let in under one. Across their last 14 games in all they have lost only once. Leicester travel badly. They score under a goal a game across their last six away games, with one win and four ties. They also lose Oliver Skipp to suspension after his red card against Burton. Leicester have won by 2 or more goals in only one of their last 14 games. A 2-0 Ipswich win is the read. They should be in front before half time and comfortable enough that they never need a third. The honest worry is selection, because Gary O'Neil is expected to change several players and the team is not confirmed. History is a caution as well. Ipswich have won only one of the last 12 meetings and five of them were tied. The gap in level is still too big to ignore, and Ipswich are the side we want.
