Leicester vs. Ipswich preview

Leicester City welcome Ipswich Town to the King Power Stadium with both relegated sides playing only for pride in this Premier League dead rubber on Sunday afternoon.

The Foxes have shown signs of life lately, taking five points from their last five matches including a spirited 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest where Facundo Buonanotte came off the bench to net a crucial equalizer.

In stark contrast, Ipswich's Premier League return has dissolved into disappointment with just one win from their last 17 league outings and 44 goals conceded during that dreadful run.

Jamie Vardy, playing what could be his final home game for Leicester, will look to build on his goal against Southampton in their last home victory while the depleted visitors continue to struggle with injuries to key players like Jaden Philogene and Wes Burns.

The King Power has been a particularly unhappy hunting ground for the Tractor Boys, who haven't managed a league win at Leicester in their last ten visits.

With Ruud van Nistelrooy missing several players including Ricardo Pereira and Stephy Mavididi, this clash between two Championship-bound sides might just provide a final opportunity for home fans to celebrate before the summer rebuild begins.

Leicester vs. Ipswich betting tips

Leicester City to Win (3/10)

Ipswich @ Leicester

Leicester City may have already been relegated, but they've shown improved form recently with five points from their last five Premier League games.

In stark contrast, Ipswich have managed just five points from their last eleven league outings, highlighting their struggle to compete at this level.

The Foxes will be motivated to give their home fans something to celebrate in their final King Power appearance before returning to the Championship.

Jamie Vardy and company should have too much quality for an Ipswich side that has leaked goals consistently throughout the campaign.

With both teams already relegated, Leicester's superior quality and recent uptick in form should see them secure all three points in this dead rubber.

Both Teams to Score - Yes (3/4)

Ipswich @ Leicester

Ipswich Town have been relegated but still boast an attack that has netted 35 goals this season, making them the highest scorers among the three relegated clubs.

The Tractor Boys have seen both teams score in seven of their last nine away fixtures, demonstrating their ability to find the net on their travels.

Recent history between these sides supports this bet, with the last three meetings seeing both teams get on the scoresheet.

Leicester's defense has been far from watertight this season, conceding regularly even when picking up points.

While Leicester should have enough to win the match, Ipswich have shown they can trouble opposition defenses and should grab a consolation goal.

Jamie Vardy to Score Anytime (137/100)

Ipswich @ Leicester

Jamie Vardy is set to make his final King Power Stadium appearance in a Leicester shirt, creating the perfect narrative for him to find the net.

The veteran striker demonstrated he still has his scoring touch by netting in Leicester's last home match.

Ipswich's defensive frailties are stark, having shipped 44 goals in just 17 league games, offering plenty of opportunities for Vardy.

The emotional significance of the occasion will likely bring out the best in Vardy, who has built his career on rising to big moments.

At 37, Vardy remains Leicester's most clinical finisher and will be determined to give the home fans one final goal to celebrate before the curtain falls on his Foxes career.
