Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest: our match analysis
Why this is our tip
- Table. Ipswich: 13th, 11 points from 9 matches (3W 2D 4L). Nottingham Forest: 19th, 6 points (1W 3D 5L).
- Attack and defence. Goals per game in this competition: Ipswich 1.6 scored and 2.1 conceded, Nottingham Forest 0.7 scored and 1.3 conceded.

What to expect
We see a fairly level contest. The projected scoreline is 1–2, close to 3 goals in the game, and the outcome we rate highest is 1–1 (11.7%). We expect goals and an open game.
The two signals clash: on table position the Ipswich look stronger, yet the bookmakers rate the away side a little higher. A game like that is hard to predict, so playing it safer with your bets makes sense.
On goals we like Both teams to score (odds 1.62), with a probability of 59% by our reckoning. By our numbers, both teams scoring is 59% and over 2.5 goals is 54%.
Main points of the prediction
- Meetings: 20; Ipswich 4 wins, 7 draws, Nottingham Forest 9 wins.
- Average goals in their meetings: 2.8 per match.
- This competition, scored–conceded: Ipswich 11–15, Nottingham Forest 5–9.
- Projected: close to 3 goals; probability of over 2.5 goals 54%.
- Not available: Ipswich 2, Nottingham Forest 2.
Alternative tip: Both teams score: yes
Other option: Both teams score: yes (probability 59%, odds up to 1.62). We project close to 3 goals, which points the same way.
