- 莱斯特城在过去的五场比赛中获得了五分,与伊普斯维奇在过去的11场联赛中获得的分数一样多
- 拖拉机男孩队在过去的17场英超比赛中只赢了一场,却丢了44个球
- 两支球队在伊普斯维奇最近九场联赛客场比赛中的七场比赛中都取得了进球,在过去三场比赛中也取得了进球
狐狸们希望自己的状态能继续好转
在本赛季的前几周,伊普斯维奇看起来是三支晋级球队中最好的,基兰·麦肯纳的球队在赛季开始时让许多大球队感到沮丧。
然而,很快他们就发现,他们和其他晋级球队莱斯特城和南安普顿一样糟糕。这三支球队几周前都降级了,这意味着狐狸队和拖拉机男孩队之间的这场冲突在最真实的意义上是一场死气沉沉的比赛,尽管获得第18名听起来确实比第19名好得多。
这对狐狸队来说是个好消息,因为他们最近已经有了一些势头,虽然为时已晚,但他们将渴望继续保持状态,争取在下个赛季立即反弹。
莱斯特城在过去的五场比赛中获得了五分,与伊普斯维奇在过去11场联赛中获得的分数一样多,这使他们成为周日对决的热门。
拖拉机男孩注定要再次失败
与此同时,伊普斯维奇已经挣扎了数周。麦肯纳的球队在过去的17场联赛中只赢了一场,但他们已经进了44球,即使在埃弗顿以2比2战平,也不足以让他们提高状态,他们在主场以1比0输给了布伦特福德。
萨福克队降级的众多原因之一是他们无法击败他们的对手,伊普斯维奇在周六之前对阵莱斯特城和南安普顿的比赛中只拿了两分。
另一方面,莱斯特城在同一场比赛中得到了7分,最近一次是在国王球场击败南安普顿队,他们在相反的比赛中表现更好,以20胜14负的比分获胜,比东道主多获得两个角球,在波特曼路1比1战平的比赛中拥有58%的控球权。
一连串的僵局即将被打破
考虑到反向赛程标志着连续第三次正面交锋以1比1结束,投注者可能会倾向于支持平局,但狐狸队的状态好转使他们值得支持。
他们希望给国王权力队的观众一个难得的机会在周日欢呼,杰米·瓦迪也是如此,他将在一个崇拜他的体育场进行最后一场比赛。
瓦迪在2比0战胜南安普顿的比赛中进球了,这场比赛也可以看到类似的故事,当狐狸队打进两球并获胜时,这位英国前锋进球了。
然而,在伊普斯维奇最近九场客场比赛中,两队都有七场进球,这表明他们可以在击败国王力量的比赛中得分。
预言:
莱斯特城获胜
莱斯特城2-1
杰米·瓦迪随时得分
外文原文如下:
- Leicester have taken five points from their last five games, as many as Ipswich have earned in their last 11 league matches
- The Tractor Boys have conceded 44 goals while winning just one of their last 17 Premier League games
- Both teams scored in seven of Ipswich’s last nine league away games, as well as the past three meetings between this pair
Foxes fancied to continue upturn in form
Through the early weeks of the season, Ipswich looked by far the best of the three promoted sides, with Kieran McKenna’s side frustrating plenty of big teams at the start of the campaign.
However, it soon conspired that they were just as bad as their fellow promoted sides, Leicester and Southampton. All three were relegated weeks ago, meaning this clash between the Foxes and Tractor Boys is a dead rubber in the truest form of the phrase, although finishing 18th does sound a fair bit better than 19th.
That is good news for the Foxes, then, as they have picked up some momentum recently and while it has been too little too late, they will be keen to continue their form as they bid to bounce back immediately next term.
Leicester have taken five points from their last five games, as many as Ipswich have earned in their last 11 league matches, making them worthy favourites for Sunday’s showdown.
Tractor Boys bound for another defeat
Ipswich, meanwhile, have been struggling for weeks. McKenna’s men have shipped 44 goals while winning just one of their last 17 league matches and even a spirited 2-2 draw at Everton wasn’t enough to see them improve their form, losing 1-0 at home to Brentford the week after.
One of the many reasons for the Suffolk side’s relegation has been their inability to beat their fellow strugglers, with Ipswich taking just two points from their clashes against Leicester and Southampton ahead of Saturday.
Leicester, on the other hand, have taken seven points from the same fixtures, most recently beating Southampton in their last outing at the King Power, and they were the better side in the reverse fixture, winning the shot count 20-14, earning two more corners than their hosts and having 58 per cent of the possession in that 1-1 draw at Portman Road.
String of stalemates to be snapped
Punters may be tempted to back the draw given the reverse fixture marked the third straight time a head-to-head had finished 1-1, but the Foxes’ upturn in form makes them worth siding with.
They will want to give the King Power crowd a rare opportunity to cheer on Sunday, and so will Jamie Vardy, who will be playing his final game at a stadium which adores him.
Vardy was on target in the 2-0 win over Southampton and this game could see a similar story unfold, with the English forward netting as the Foxes score two goals and win.
However, seven of Ipswich’s last nine away games saw both teams find the net, suggesting they can score in defeat at the King Power.
