Odds correct at time of publishing
Ipswich has struggled recently, posting a lackluster home record of 2 wins, 3 losses in their last five outings. Their average xG at home has been dismal, and despite a decent scoring rate, they’ve allowed 2.2 goals per game against opponents in that span. On the flip side, Nottingham Forest may have only secured one win in their last five overall, but their attacking metrics show promise. They’ve been generating about 18.8 shots per game, and their away form has been improving, with a scoring average of 2 goals in their last five away matches. With Forest boasting an undefeated record against Ipswich in their last two meetings, backing Nottingham Forest at level stakes seems like a savvy play as they look to turn the tide in this matchup.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest: Nottingham Forest Moneyline (+140)
Odds correct at time of publishing
As Ipswich Town gears up to face Nottingham Forest, the form book suggests a potential upset in favor of the visitors. While Ipswich has shown some resilience at home, their recent performances are worrying, with just two wins in their last five at Portman Road. They've struggled to find the net, averaging only 1.4 goals and conceding 2.2 in their last five. In contrast, Nottingham Forest has a solid track record against Ipswich, winning their last two encounters. Despite a mixed bag of results, Forest’s attacking stats are compelling; they’ve averaged over 15 shots per game recently. With their ability to create chances ramping up, it feels like only a matter of time before they capitalize on Ipswich’s defensive vulnerabilities. The combination of head-to-head dominance and current form makes Nottingham Forest a tempting bet for a win here.
