Ipswich Town and Leicester City meet at Portman Road in an EFL Cup round two clash. Ipswich come into the game in confident mood after enjoying a perfect preseason and opening their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Sunderland. The Tractor Boys have won three of their last four matches in all competitions, while their home record is particularly encouraging, with a 60% win rate across their last 10 home games. Summer signing Julio Enciso picked up a knock at the weekend, meaning Jack Clarke could be handed an opportunity to impress.
Leicester, meanwhile, will be looking to respond after suffering a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Burton in League One. The Foxes did begin their EFL Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Northampton, but their recent form has been inconsistent. Leicester have scored in nine of their last 10 matches, though their defensive record is hardly convincing. Oliver Skipp is suspended for this one, with Hamza Choudhury expected to step in.
The Premier League side's momentum and home advantage make Leicester favourites to win this match. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Ipswich Over 1.5 and BTTS (63% of the last 16 H2Hs produced goals at both ends).
Over 1.5 goals – This landed in 88% of their previous meetings.
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 19:45.
