Leeds have won two of their last three under new boss Neil Redfearn, including a 2-0 home success against Championship leaders Derby County on Saturday.
Mirco Antenucci scored both goals in that triumph, lifting Leeds to 15th and raising momentum ahead of their visit to Portman Road.
The decision surrounds a tax conviction given to Cellino by a Cagliari court in March this year - something that initially blocked the Italian's takeover of Leeds, before he was successful on appeal - and he intends to follow a similar route on this occasion.
"I have to appeal," Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
"My lawyers are going to appeal because this is all a big mistake from the start."
Ipswich, a point adrift of Derby and unbeaten in six, needed a late goal from Noel Hunt - on loan from Leeds - to win 1-0 at Charlton Athletic last Saturday.
Steve McClaren's Derby will fancy their chances of bouncing back with a home clash against Brighton and Hove Albion, who occupy one of the three relegation places.
