Ipswich had hoped to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table with a victory against Leeds at Elland Road. However, they were left disappointed as they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat, putting an end to their five-match unbeaten streak. Daniel Farke's team managed to score three goals before halftime, with former Leeds player Leif Davis scoring an own goal and later conceding a penalty. This defeat marked the biggest loss for Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna since taking charge and experiencing a successful run of results that had brought his team into contention for promotion to the Premier League. Despite the defeat, Ipswich still maintain a seven-point lead over Leeds in the race for automatic promotion, although they have now lost to them twice this season. The Tractor Boys will be looking to bounce back from their draw against Norwich City by securing a win in their next festive fixture, where they will face the team currently sitting above them in the table. While Ipswich has a decent record on Boxing Day and have won against Oxford United in the past, they will face tough competition this time as they go up against the favorites to win the Championship this season.
Ipswich Town Predicted Lineup
Hladky; Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Hutchinson, Chaplin, Broadhead; Hirst
Leicester City form
Leicester City last played against Ipswich in a league match in February 2014, where they won 3-0 and that victory helped them secure promotion to the Premier League. Since then, Leicester City has experienced both successes and failures, but their recent performances indicate that they will soon return to the top level of English football. In their last game, they took advantage of Ipswich's previous loss by defeating Rotherham United, who are currently at the bottom of the Championship table. This victory allowed Leicester City to extend their lead to six points at the Christmas break. Patson Daka, who has scored four goals in the last four games, was instrumental in their win, scoring twice in a 12-minute period in the second half. This performance not only secured their fifth consecutive victory but also marked their 19th win of the season. At the halfway point of the season, Enzo Maresca's team has a comfortable 13-point lead over Leeds and Southampton, who were also relegated last season and are currently in the playoff positions. Consequently, they are now set to face Ipswich, who have only lost one home game in the Championship so far this season, while Leicester City is aiming for their 10th away victory.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup
Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Ndidi; Fatawu, Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi; Daka
Ipswich Town vs Leicester City Expert Tips
Leicester City's recent record on Boxing Day is rather intriguing, as they have suffered defeat in seven out of their last nine league matches. Surprisingly, their only victory came against Manchester City in 2018. However, it is highly unlikely that they will face another setback on this particular Boxing Day, as they are set to face Ipswich at Portman Road. Ipswich, who are currently the closest contenders in the Championship, are still reeling from a loss that has shaken their confidence. We expect the home side to come away with something in this game.
