Leicester City vs Ipswich: prediction & betting odds 18 May 2025

The Matchday 37 clash in the Premier League between Leicester and Ipswich will take place on May 18 at the King Power Stadium. Leicester vs. Ipswich: prediction, betting odds, and statistics.

Leicester

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side is second from the bottom in the standings, having the same points as Ipswich (22). The team has long lost its chances to stay in the Premier League but has decided not to give away points to opponents at the end of the season. In the last two rounds, the club defeated Southampton at home (2-0) and surprisingly drew away with Nottingham Forest (2-2). It is also worth noting that this season the team hasn't had any unbeaten streaks in the league where they avoided defeat in three or more consecutive matches.

  • At least one team failed to score in 11 of Leicester's last 13 Premier League games.
  • No more than three goals were scored in 8 of Leicester's last 10 league matches.
  • The club failed to score in 9 of their last 10 home Premier League encounters.

Predicted lineup for Leicester (4-5-1)

Jakub Stolarczyk – Wout Faes, James Justin, Luke Thomas, Conor Coady – Wilfred Ndidi, Jordan Ayew, Oliver Skipp, Bilal El Khannous, Kasey McAteer – Jamie Vardy.

Ipswich

The club is unbeaten in six consecutive Premier League matches. During this series, Kieran McKenna's side drew twice and suffered four defeats. The team has also been relegated to the Championship ahead of schedule, having won only once in their last 17 Premier League games (4 draws and 12 losses). It's also worth noting that Ipswich has conceded 77 goals this season, with only Leicester (78 goals) and Southampton (82 goals) having worse defensive records.

  • At least three goals were scored in 7 of the club's last 8 Premier League games.
  • Both teams scored in 10 of Ipswich's last 14 Premier League encounters.
  • The club has not won in 9 of their last 10 away league matches (4 draws and 5 losses).

Predicted lineup for Ipswich (4-2-3-1)

Alex Palmer – Dara O'Shea, Cameron Burgess, Axel Tuanzebe, Jacob Greaves – Jack Taylor, Sam Morsy – Conor Chaplin, Omari Hutchinson, Julio Enciso – Liam Delap.

Leicester vs. Ipswich: Match Prediction

Both opponents have nothing left to play for, except deciding who will take the 18th spot and who will finish second from the bottom in the Premier League standings. Both clubs have struggled defensively, conceding more than two goals per match on average this season. It's highly likely that neither team will keep a clean sheet in the upcoming match.

In the first round, as well as last season in the Championship, both teams exchanged goals. Notably, all three of these head-to-head encounters ended with a 1-1 scoreline. Leicester ended their long goalless streak in the league, scoring in two consecutive Premier League matches. Meanwhile, Ipswich has been scoring even away from home, doing so in 7 of their last 9 Premier League games. Additionally, Steven McKenna's side has conceded in all of their last 16 away Premier League matches.

My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
