Leeds

The team is steadily working towards a return to the Premier League, from which Leeds dropped out at the end of the previous season. There's a considerable gap from the top two positions, but the team will certainly fight for a playoff spot until the last matchday. Currently, Leeds sits in third place in the Championship table, just ahead of Southampton, who are following closely behind based on additional criteria.

Ipswich

The 'Tractor Boys' are one of the main surprises of this season in the Championship. The team is in their first season in the division after returning from League 1 and immediately started vying for promotion. It's too early to talk about reaching the Premier League, but the club has been quite consistent. After 22 rounds, Ipswich unexpectedly secured the second position, trailing league leaders Leicester by just three points. The team also enjoys a significant ten-point lead over their pursuers.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• Leeds has yet to lose a home game in this season's matches.
• Ipswich has only suffered defeat in two matches, which is the best record among all Championship teams.
• The last three matches between these teams at Leeds' ground ended in victories for the hosts.

Prediction

This will be a match between direct rivals in the battle for promotion to the Premier League. I believe both teams will play cautiously and impose a tough battle on each other across all areas of the pitch. I'm betting on a total of fewer than 3.5 goals.
