Ipswich Town are experiencing challenges in their return to the Premier League, yet they view Saturday’s home match against Leicester City as an excellent opportunity to secure their first league victory of the season. The Ipswich Town vs Leicester City match will kick off at 15:00 UK Time.
Last season, both teams achieved promotion back to the Premier League, with Leicester finishing as champions and Ipswich securing the runners-up position. The return to life in the top flight has been challenging for both teams, with Ipswich facing even greater difficulties. Kieran McKenna’s team is still pursuing their first victory of the season and currently occupies a position in the relegation zone with four points. They are still one of three teams that have not secured three points.
Leicester will spend the season battling for survival, yet they have gained some early breathing space with two victories thus far. They currently sit in 15th place with nine points, holding a five-point advantage over their next rivals. A defeat to Ipswich will bring the Foxes back into view for the home team.
This match may offer a chance for both teams to find some offensive success. Ipswich has allowed 20 goals to date, ranking as the second-highest in the league. Leicester have permitted 17. If they pose a threat, the hosts will rely on the skills of Liam Delap, who has had a remarkable individual season with five goals. He aims to seize his opportunities against a defence that has managed just one clean sheet in the league this season.
