Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Prediction and Betting Tips | December 13th 2025

Leicester City host Ipswich Town on Saturday as the 21st round of games in the Championship beckons. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the standings.

Marti Cifuentes' Leicester are coming off a 2-2 midweek draw at Bristol City. The Foxes led by two goals at the break, thanks to strikes from Jordan Ayew and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

However, Bristol hit back after the break, with Mark Sykes reducing arrears in the first minute of the second half before Emil Riis Jakobsen netted the equaliser seven minutes from time.

Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna's Ipswich are fresh off a 1-0 home win over Stoke City in midweek. Jaden Philogene struck the game's only goal in the second minute as the Tractor Boys took the win despite Stoke dominating possession (57%).

With a second straight win - following their surprise 3-0 home victory over leaders Coventry City - McKenna's side remain fourth in the points table, with 34 points from 20 outings, winning nine.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Leicester-Ipswich Championship showdown at the King Power Stadium:

Leicester City vs Ipswich Town prediction

The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While Leicester have been underwhelming on their immediate return to the Championship after a year's absence, Ipswich are in the play-off places, losing once in their last 10 games.

In terms of head-to-head, there's absolutely nothing to separate the two sides after Leicester legend Jamie Vardy scored his 200th goal in his 500th and final game for the side in a win that came after their Premier League relegation was already sealed.

Leicester's poor home form doesn't augur too well for their victory hopes while Ipswich have been strong of late on the road. However, Ipswich are winless in 11 away league trips to the Foxes, losing six, so the two sides could produce a fourth stalemate in five meetings this weekend.

Prediction: Leicester City 1-1 Ipswich Town
