Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Preview and Team News

Ipswich Town Team News

Ipswich’s winless streak was extended to nine matches after they lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace on the road. Kieran McKenna’s men are currently 18th with 17 points, six adrift of the safe zone.

So far, Ipswich Town remain the only Premier League side in 2025 without a victory. We should also note the team scored the lowest number of goals (26) after Leicester and Southampton.

The club’s talisman, Conor Chaplin, is still injured and will miss Saturday’s fixture. In addition, Arijanet Muric, Wes Burns, Chiedozie Ogbene, Sammie Szmodics, and Axel Tuanzebe sit out. All of them are considered potential starters for Ipswich.

Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Davis, Greaves, Woolfenden, O’Shea; Cajuste, Morsy; Clarke, Enciso, Philogene; Delap.

Nottingham Forest Team News

Nottingham’s miraculous season continues, as they’ve managed to beat Man City in the last fixture (1-0). At the start of the season, no one would have thought this clash would be a contest for the top four, but eventually, Forest emerged victorious.

With 51 points in 28 matches, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men are four points clear of the fifth-placed Man City. Their performance in this campaign has been impressive, and they’re close to qualifying for the Champions League.

Nottingham have all their players at their disposal, though Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel will not be featured due to an injury. 

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood. 

Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Prediction 

• Pick: Nottingham to Win
• Odds: 1.99 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Ipswich Town 0-2 Nottingham Forest

Nottingham have an ideal chance to grab more points against struggling Ipswich Town. In the past five H2Hs, they’ve won three times and given the teams’ recent form, they’re the favourites.

Moreover, Ipswich have serious injury concerns with the ranks. They’ll find it challenging to create moments against Forest’s organized defence. The guests will rely on their fast wingers to exploit weaknesses. 

Chris Wood is having a phenomenal season with 18 goals and we expect him to lead his squad to a triumph. Our first pick in this match would be Nottingham to win. 

Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.94 (22Bet)

The guests are known for their pragmatic approach. Defensively, they’re the third-best side after Liverpool and Arsenal, with 33 goals conceded. We expect the trend to continue against poor-performing Ipswich.

The hosts, on the other hand, have failed to convert dangerous moments. With too many injured players, they lack attacking efficiency. In addition, the previous four H2H clashes ended with less than three goals scored.

We anticipate that after a comfortable lead, Forest will close down the game and without a high-scoring affair. Our second pick in this encounter would be under 2.5 goals.
