Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town

, KO: 15:00 Nov 30, 2024, City Ground
Ipswich Town

Nottingham Forest will look to halt their two-game losing run in the Premier League when they take on Ipswich Town at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have performed above expectations this season but their progress has stalled slightly after losing to both Newcastle and Arsenal, the latter of which brought up both of my Emirates wagers last weekend.

That pair of defeats has seen the Tricky Trees drop down to seventh place in the top-flight standings.

Seeking to emerge from their mini-slump, Forest will look to file all three points when they face Ipswich this weekend.

The Tractor Boys current three-game unbeaten run would suggest they are beginning to get to grips with life back in the top-flight.

Last time out, Kieran McKenna’s men spoiled Ruben Amorim's Manchester United debut, as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, bringing up both of my Portman Road plays in the process.

How the bookies view it: Forest to relight the fire

Despite losing each of their last two Premier League games, Nottingham Forest are hotly-fancied 4/6 (Betano) favourites to bank all three points on Saturday.

Two of Ipswich’s last three top-flight fixtures have ended all square and the same outcome here can be backed at 11/4 (Betano) while a Tractor Boys triumph is trading at 19/5 (Betano).

Head to head: History book dormant

The two teams have not crossed paths in England’s top tier since December 1994, with Nottingham Forest running out 4-1 winners on that occasion. Saturday’s meeting between the duo will be the first time the two teams have come up against each other since playing out a 1-1 draw in the English Championship way back in March 2019.

Players to watch: Ryan on referee’s radar

Ryan Yates has committed multiple fouls in each of Newcastle’s last three Premier League matches. In fact, the Forest captain racked up five fouls during the Reds’ most recent home game with Newcastle, making him an eye-catching option for two or more misdemeanours here at 19/20 on UniBet.

Liam Delap – who has six goals in 12 top-flight outings for Ipswich this term – is a tempting 10/11 on Ladbrokes to register at least one shot on target at the City Ground on Saturday.

Predicted line-ups

Nottingham Forest’s leading marksman Chris Wood is expected to come back into the starting XI after beginning last weekend’s 3-0 loss to Arsenal on the bench.

Both Ben Johnson and Kalvin Phillips missed out for Ipswich against Manchester United last Sunday due to injury and there are question marks over the pair’s fitness ahead of this weekend’s fixture with Forest.

Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Silva; Wood

Ipswich Town: Muric; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Cajuste, Morsy; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap

Anything else catch the eye?

Goals could be in short supply when Nottingham Forest and Ipswich face off at the City Ground on Saturday.

Under 2.5 goals has paid out in seven of Forest’s 12 Premier League games this season, including four of their six City Ground assignments.

Likewise, the same selection would have also proven profitable in seven of the Tractor Boys’ 12 top-flight tussles this term to date.

Thus, the 19/20 offering on UniBet for this fixture to feature two match goals or fewer is a price that undoubtedly represents value.

This match between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town will be played on Nov 30, 2024 and kick off at 15:00. Check below for our tipsters best Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
