Leicester City vs Ipswich Town prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 13, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 21st round of the English Championship will take place this Saturday at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, where the local Leicester City will host Ipswich Town. Let's consider a bet on a closely contested match between these two promotion contenders.
Match preview
Despite being one of the pre-season favorites, the Foxes are still far from the leading positions. The team sits in 13th place, three points adrift of the playoff zone, showing inconsistent form with just three wins in nine home matches.
Since the arrival of new manager Martí Cifuentes, Leicester have started to pick up points more regularly, collecting four in their last two games. However, from a side recently relegated from the Premier League, more consistency and firepower are expected—especially on home turf.
Ipswich have firmly established themselves in the upper part of the table, climbing to fourth place following a three-match unbeaten run. Back-to-back home victories over Coventry and Stoke City have confirmed that this team is capable of beating direct rivals.
However, Ipswich have had their troubles on the road—defeats to Oxford and a draw with Blackburn show that the Tractor Boys need to improve away from home. Nevertheless, their attacking potential means they can still hope for points against an inconsistent Leicester.
Probable lineups
- Leicester City: Stolarczyk, Choudhury, Nelson, Vestergaard, Thomas, James, Skipp, Fatawu, Reid, Mavididi, Ayew
- Ipswich Town: Walton, Furlong, O'Shea, Kipré, Davis, Matusiwa, Taylor, Égélé, Núñez, Philogene, Azon
Match facts and head-to-head
- Ipswich have picked up seven points from their last three matches and sit fourth in the table.
- Leicester have won just three of their nine home matches this season.
- Ipswich's last away league win came on November 25 against Hull.
Prediction
Leicester are at home but have struggled for confidence even at their own stadium, while Ipswich are in good form yet lack consistency on the road. Given the current balance of power and the form of both teams, a low-scoring draw seems the most likely outcome.
