Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield | in Premier League Predictions
Ipswich Town continue their bid to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. They are 18th in the Premier League and six points from safety. This weekend the Tractor Boys play host to Nottingham Forest who are third in the table. Here's our match prediction.
The home side may be six points from safety but it's virtually seven due to their appalling goal difference. With only ten games remaining, they need to somehow get some wins but will find it difficult this weekend against a side that is chasing a place in the Champions League. With just one home league win this season, you do have to wonder just how they are going to escape the bottom three.
Forest had an excellent home win over Manchester City last weekend. As you will read in the form guide of this preview, they do need to improve on their recent away form. This looks an ideal opportunity to do just that.

Ipswich Town - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Ipswich Town were beaten 1-0 at Crystal Palace last weekend and that was their 17th league loss of the season. The Tractor Boys have lost their last four league and cup games. Their loss in the FA Cup was on penalties to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Ipswich haven't won a league game this year.
They are still waiting for their first Premier League win of 2025 and have gone nine matches without a victory. Home league form has seen them win just one match (a win over Chelsea) but the last four have been lost with 14 goals conceded.
Nottingham Forest have won seven away league matches this season but have lost the last three with 11 goals put past them. They are four points behind second placed Arsenal and four clear of fifth and sixth.

Ipswich Town & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Ipswich Town have struggled at Portman Road this season with just one league win. They really need to start earning some points in the run-in or it will be back to the Championship for them next season.
They have several players out injured and with a lack of depth in their squad, that is causing them many problems. Axel Tuanzebe will miss this game but is expected to make his return once the international break has ended.
Delap will have to be careful.
One major concern for them is that Liam Delap is only a booking away from a two-match ban. He's been their best player this season and losing him would seriously damage their survival hopes.
Nottingham Forest wil want to get back on track on the road. There have been some poor losses in recent weeks but the home win over City last weekend should have boosted their confidence.
It is looking pretty good for them on the injury front with all ther key players fit for this match. An unchanged starting line-up is expected to be named for this game.
