Leicester City vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips: Leicester to Win

Currently boasting 68 points, Leicester maintains a firm grip on the Championship, and at this juncture, it seems they should effortlessly secure automatic promotion to the Premier League after merely 12 months, comfortably positioned ten steps ahead of the playoff spots and the third-placed Southampton. 

Despite coming away empty-handed against Coventry on the road with a tough 1-3 loss, marking their first setback after an 11-game unbeaten streak, the Foxes could inch closer to the second-tier title on Monday night if they secure a full three points against Ipswich, extending their lead to a double-digit margin. 

Despite head coach Enzo Maresca's absence from the touchline due to a yellow card suspension, the East Midlands side will lean on their outstanding home record to come out on top in the top-of-the-table clash, securing nine wins in their last ten Championship matches in front of their devoted fans. 

What's even more impressive, Leicester's final third displays a relentless efficiency in recent outings at the King Power Stadium, shaking the opponent's net at least three times in each of their last four triumphs on home soil, and they will uphold their attacking approach to validate their value on Monday evening.

On the flip side, Ipswich managed to shake off recent stumbles, boosting morale ahead of the season's pivotal clash by overcoming a one-goal deficit to orchestrate a late comeback in a 2-1 victory against Sunderland, maintaining a three-point advantage over Southampton breathing down their necks.

Looking at the bigger picture, last week's hard-earned win at Portman Road against the play-off chasers was only the first success in England's second-tier for Kieran McKenna's men in the past month, having succumbed to a heavy 0-4 defeat at Leeds and four times sharing points during that time. For that reason, we believe Ipswich hasn't exuded enough confidence lately to match up against the strong promotion favorite, so Leicester's victory should be taken into consideration.
