A rather strange and slightly worrying statistic related to Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes' time at King Power Stadium has emerged. I'll get to that later. In the meantime, some writers and experts have been making predictions ahead of the Leicester-Ipswich Town match on Saturday, December 13. At the time of writing, team news is available and the Foxes are out on the Filbert Way turf warming up for the Tractor Boys clash. So let's dive straight into both stories, with literally no time to waste on this occasion!
Predictions for Leicester City vs Ipswich Town contest in English Football League Championship
At the moment, the Suffolk side find themselves in fifth position; which is a comfortable Playoff spot. Meanwhile, the East Midlands outfit currently occupy 13th. However, a mere six points separates the pair of tier two clubs.
If I was pushed for a match forecast in this instance, I would be optimistic for the Foxes; while I am a supporter, I try to be impartial regarding playing matters. I'll go for a hopeful 2-0 scoreline in Leicester's favour.
Though some journalists at The72, feel differently. Charlie Hodgson, for example, believes City will be beaten by a 2-1 outcome. James Ray goes further to predict a 2-0 score for Kieran McKenna's men.
Peculiar and concerning Marti Cifuentes stat
While most of the LCFC support are fine with Cifuentes' disposition, persona and expectations, his results are not what we have come to expect. I truly envisioned us in the Playoff places - at the very least.
Certain members of the Blue Army would actually be more harsh than myself in their appraisals, too. Uneven is a sufficient word to describe how the Catalonian's tenure has unravelled in LE2.
Thanks to the aforementioned outlet, I came across a curious piece of evidence which supports the ex-Queens Park Rangers man's Leicester indifference:
