Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest — Tips & Analysis

Ipswich +0.25: Forest have won one of their last eleven games, and that is the biggest reason we are with Ipswich here. Ipswich have been a solid home side. They have won four of their last seven at Portman Road and score 2 goals a game there. Across all games they have won 6 of their last 14 and score almost 2 a game. Forest have not looked like a winning side anywhere in this run. They score under a goal a game across all their games and sit 19th in the table on 5 points from 7. They have not won by 2 or more goals in any of their last eleven, so a heavy away win is barely on the table. Igor Jesus and Nicolo Savona are both out, so the visiting side is unsettled as well. Ipswich have had an extra day of rest too. Put it together and Ipswich should have more of the ball and the better chances. A 2-1 home win is the most likely score, and that is enough for this pick. The honest worry is that Forest have played better than their results. They have created plenty in their last five games and simply have not finished, so one clean night in front of goal changes this. Ipswich let in as many as they score, and Forest have won nine of the last nineteen meetings. We still want Ipswich.
