Prediction: 1-1
Ipswich
After holding Nottingham Forest to a draw at The City Ground, Leicester City will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Ipswich Town on Matchday 37. The Foxes are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful Premier League campaign and they are surely capable of matching the fellow bottom-table side at their King Power Stadium. Midfielder Facundo Buonanotte is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Forest, while Ricardo Pereira is a major doubt.
All Stephy Mavididi, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Abdul Fatawu are major doubts. The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Brentford. Ipswich Town and Leicester City seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Andros Townsend, Jaden Philogene, Wes Burns, and Nathan Broadhead miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later.
The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite.
Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
Highlighted Team (Ipswich):
Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311. The Tractor Boys compete in the Championship, but they used to play in the English Premier League in the past as well. Ipswich Town last appeared in the elite division in the 2001/2002 season.
Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
