Ipswich Town vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Ipswich Town, who were promoted as League One champions, have started the season in red-hot form. They are one of two teams to have won all three league matches, the other being Leicester City. Kieran McKenna’s side’s defensive solidity so far sees them edge Leicester at the top on goal difference. They have conceded just one goal while scoring five. This form has also been extended to the League Cup where the Blues are now through to the second round. They beat QPR by a solitary goal away from home last time out, their third consecutive match keeping a clean sheet. Key to their form last season as they sealed promotion was their home form. This has been extended to this season. The Tractor Boys are now unbeaten in 19 matches at home, excluding friendlies. Fifteen of those fixtures have ended in wins including the last 10. Ipswich have not lost to Leeds in five meetings as hosts and have won four times.

While Ipswich are flying high at the top of the standings, Leeds are struggling on the opposite end of the table. They’ve drawn two of their three league matches and sit just one point above the relegation zone, with two points. Leeds suffered their first defeat of the season in their first away match of the campaign. Daniel Farke’s charges lost 1-0 away to Birmingham on Match Day 2. They will hope to fare better in their second away match of the season. The Whites bounced back from that defeat with a 1-1 draw at home against West Brom last time out. They were briefly able to set aside their inconsistencies in the League Cup where they recorded their first win of the season. This was a 2-1 success at home against League One side Shrewsbury. Leeds suffered relegation from the Premier League last season with their away form playing a big part in this. They finished the season with five straight away day defeats.
