Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town Preview and Team News
Nottingham Forest Team News
Nottingham are having a brilliant season; after 26 rounds of fixtures, they sit 3rd on the Premier League table with 47 points, within the top-four slots that will earn them a Champions League place for next season, should they hold on to their position.
However, their recent form has suffered a bit; they have won just twice in their last five matches, losing three times. This run of form means that they are a point ahead of Chelsea (albeit with Chelsea having played a match more) and three points ahead of their other rivals for a top four place, Manchester City and Newcastle, both at 44 points.
| Nottingham Forest | Details |
| Current Premier League Position | 3rd |
| Points | 47 |
| Points Ahead of Chelsea (4th Place) | 1 (Chelsea has played one more match) |
| Points Ahead of Man City & Newcastle (5th & 6th Place) | 3 |

| FA Cup 4th Round Result | 2-2 Draw vs. Exeter (Won 4-2 on penalties) |
| Upcoming FA Cup Fixture | vs. Ipswich Town (Fifth Round) |
| Key Absence | Carlos Miguel (Goalkeeper, hamstring injury) |
| Head Coach | Nuno Espírito Santo |
In the 4th round, Forest progressed after defeating Exeter 2-4 on penalties after the match ended in a 2-2 draw. They will look for a better performance against fellow Premier League side, Ipswich Town.
Forest will head into the clash against Ipswich without goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, with the 26-year-old nursing a hamstring injury. However, our football betting predictions show that Nuno Espirito Santo will be pleased with the near-fully fit squad as he balances the top-four tilt with a run in the FA Cup.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Murillo, Milenković, Aina; Anderson, Dominguez; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood
Ipswich Town Team News
Ipswich Town are having a difficult run of form this season as they try to fight to beat the drop from the Premier League. In 26 rounds of fixtures, they have managed 3 wins, 8 draws, and a mammoth 15 defeats. They have scored just 24 goals while conceding 54 times.
Their recent form has seen them go winless in five outings, with one draw and four defeats, collecting a solitary point from the 15 on offer.

In their last match, they lost 1-4 at home to Tottenham as their fight to stay in the League got even harder. With 17 points, they are five points from safety. Free football predictions on 22Bet show that this will determine their mentality against Forest.
In the previous round, Ipswich progressed by convincingly beating Coventry 1-4 away from home. Kieran McKenna will hope that his side will have enough against the high-flying Forest.

Bet hereNottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town Prediction
- Pick: Nottingham Forest To Win
- Odds: 1.71 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 3-1 Ipswich Town
On current form, Nottingham Forest have the edge. Our expert soccer predictions show that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has better defensive organization and sharper attackers, especially on the break.
In contrast, Ipswich have been profligate in front of goal and lacking in solidity in their defensive phase. They are also short on confidence after just three wins in 26 matches this season, underscoring why they are struggling to stay in the Premier League.
In this regard, Forest will have the edge in this match, with their in-form quartet, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga, and Wood, leading the way.
Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Any Team To Win To Nil – Yes
- Odds: 2.27 (22Bet)
Nuno Espirito Santo has got his charges to succeed this season by creating a robust defensive foundation for the team. They defend in numbers and use a low block when they have to. This smothers the spaces and half spaces in and around their penalty area.
The resulting solidity, our football predictions analysis shows, backs the football pick for a win to nil in this clash. Nottingham Forest have pacey players, such as Hudson-Odoi, Elanga, and Gibbs-White who can attack in transitions, which allows them to defend deep and bolster their chances of a clean sheet in this match.
