Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Predictions

• Both teams have scored in nine of Ipswich’s 12 league games
• Six of Ipswich’s 12 league games have ended as draws
• Forest have conceded in six of their last eight league outings

Forest seeking return to winning ways

Despite having suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats, Nottingham Forest find themselves seventh in the top-flight after 12 matches and they will be hoping to get back on the winning trail against third-bottom Ipswich.

The Tricky Trees have struggled to live with Newcastle (3-1) and Arsenal (3-0) in their last two league assignments but they are only two of three losses they have endured this season.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men remain the only team to have beaten league leaders Liverpool this season while they have also picked up points away at Brighton and Chelsea, highlighting their capabilities.

Many may be expecting Forest to regain the winning touch at home to Ipswich, but they have triumphed in only two of their six home league games and the Tractor Boys are steadily improving.

Tractor Boys heading in the right direction

Ipswich remain in the bottom three but they have picked up five of their nine points in their last three matches, springing a 2-1 surprise on Tottenham either side of 1-1 draws at home to Leicester and Manchester United.

Confidence is growing and with every week Ipswich are starting to believe that they belong in the Premier League, something which makes them dangerous opponents for Forest.

The pressure will be on Forest at odds-on at home and both teams to score looks a much safer betting proposition.

Both teams have scored in nine of Ipswich’s 12 Premier League games, which shows their attacking ability, and the only time they have failed to score in six road trips came in a goalless draw at Brighton.

Forest, meanwhile, have kept four clean sheets this season but they have been breached by Leicester and Wolves, two sides close to Ipswich at the wrong end of the table.

Even so, each of Forest’s last four league matches have gone over 2.5 goals and this has the potential to be another high-scoring encounter, especially as Ipswich prioritise a positive approach.

Correct-score punters may want to side with a 1-1 draw, a result which has taken place in four of Ipswich’s 12 league games this season. Forest have also played out three 1-1 draws this term.
