Leeds vs Ipswich prediction – Betting tips & odds

Hot Tip – Leeds to win

  • Leeds are the only team to beat the top two sides in the league this season, Ipswich and Leicester City
  • The Whites have done the double over the Foxes and won a thrilling 4-3 match at Portman Road in August

We have also decided to back Leeds as a result of them not losing a single game at home this season. There have been a handful of draws at Elland Road, but Leeds have managed to defeat the likes of Leicester, Watford, Swansea and Middlesbrough on home soil so far.
