Nottingham Forest
The team was recently among the top contenders, but they have suffered defeats in their last two matches. They lost at home to Newcastle (1-3) and then away to Arsenal with a score of 0-3. Interestingly, the last time Nottingham conceded at least three goals in two consecutive Premier League matches was exactly a year ago, which marked the beginning of a winless streak of seven matches where they collected only one point. Nuno Espírito Santo's side has dropped to 7th place, trailing the Champions League zone by just three points.
- At least three goals have been scored in Nottingham Forest's last four Premier League matches.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 10 of the club's last 13 league games.
- Nottingham has not lost in the first half of their last seven home matches in the Premier League (3 wins, 4 draws).
Ipswich
The team is unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches. Kieran McKenna's side drew at home with Leicester and Manchester United (both 1-1) and unexpectedly defeated Tottenham away with a score of 2-1. Interestingly, the victory over the Londoners is Ipswich's only win in the current championship. The club remains in the bottom three but trails Wolverhampton, who are 17th, only due to a worse goal difference.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Ipswich's last 8 Premier League matches.
- Ipswich has not won the second half in their last six league matches (3 draws, 3 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in the first half of 6 of the team's last 7 Premier League matches.
Nottingham Forest vs. Ipswich: Match Prediction
The teams have not met in the Premier League this century but have frequently faced each other in the Championship. In the last 14 head-to-head encounters at City Ground, Nottingham has never lost to this opponent, securing 8 wins and 6 draws. It is likely that Nottingham Forest's unbeaten run at home will continue in the Premier League, given the current form of both teams. However, I do not recommend betting on a clean win for the hosts, as Ipswich's victory over Tottenham on their ground showed they are adapting to the top division and are ready to not only earn points but also win.
I believe Nottingham Forest will not lose, but there will be goals from both teams. Ipswich has played six away games in the Premier League this season and failed to score only against Brighton, while they conceded in five of those matches. Nottingham has scored at least one goal in 9 of their last 11 home Premier League matches and conceded in 17 of their last 20 home league games.
My prediction – "1X and Both Teams to Score – Yes"
