Head-to-Head
- Forest have won all of the last 3 H2H meetings, including a 4-2 away win in PL2024/2025.
- An away win would be a bit of a confidence booster for the visitors, but they have won here in the most recent meeting so we'll take both teams to score.
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town have won two and lost three of their last five games, though they bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a 2-1 home win against Fulham in their last PL2026/2027 outing.
Nottingham Forest
Forest have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five matches, losing the last two.
Key Players
- Dan Ndoye is the leading scorer for the Reds with one goal in five appearances so far, while Morgan Gibbs-White has chipped in with two assists in the same amount of games.
- Emersonn leads the scoring for the Tractor Boys with two goals in five games, and he's the sharp shooter that gives Ipswich the most chance of getting something from this matchup.
Betting Insights
- Forest come into this fixture as the slight favorites, but the odds of 2.24 are a little short for us considering Ipswich are at 3.0 and the draw is at 3.45.
- The Tractor Boys have won two and lost one of their three home fixtures in PL2026/2027 and Nottingham Forest have won, drawn and lost their three away fixtures, so it looks like it could be a close contest.
- Ipswich have conceded just four goals in their opening three home matches, suggesting they will make this a tight match on their home turf.
Prediction
- As such, we are taking Forest to edge out the win, but we think the better value play lies in the BTTS market.
- Forest have scored five times in their away matches, an average of 1.67 per-game, and we think they can nick it but O'Neil's men have enough to keep it on a knife-edge.
