- Ipswich Town is predicted to be a +0.5-goal home underdog against Nottingham Forest.
- Nottingham Forest has won each of its last nine EPL matches as a favorite.
- My Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest prediction is the Forest moneyline.
Off a strong win against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest travel to Ipswich Town seeking a second straight victory.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side captured a 1-0 win over the defending champions, ending a three-match winless run in the league. As it stands, Forest sits third in the league.
Ipswich Town fell 1-0 as road underdogs to Crystal Palace to remain in the relegation zone. The result flattered Ipswich, though, as the Tractor Boys posted a -1.7 expected differential.

Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction
Based on Nottingham Forest’s strong record as a favorite and their outstanding defense, my Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest prediction is the Forest Moneyline (+115).
Forest offer a strong profile as a market favorite thanks to their brilliant defensive record.
Santo’s side ranks fourth in expected goals against and seventh in post-shot expected goals allowed, per fbref.com.
Because of that defensive record, Forest has excelled against teams possessing the league’s worst attacks.
Seven EPL sides have created under 33 post-shot expected goals this season. Forest has played nine games against those teams with an 8-1-0 (W-D-L) record.
Across all nine matches, Forest recorded a +9.8 post-shot expected goal differential.
In two previous trips to promoted teams, Forest are 2-0-0 with a +3 xGDiff and +2.3 post-shot xGDiff.
Conversely, Ipswich has previously struggled against the league’s best defenses.
Against teams ninth or better in post-shot expected goals allowed, Ipswich Town recorded a 1-3-9 (W-D-L) record with all four results undeserved based on expected goals.
Finally, history likes this spot to back Nottingham Forest.
Since 2012, teams priced between -130 and +246 are 115-105 SU, assuming three additional factors:
- The team closed a home underdog in their previous game
- The underdog’s previous game margin is -2 or -1
- The team’s margin in the last head-to-head meeting is +0 or +1
When that spot occurs in fixture 28 onward, such teams are 43-35 SU.
As a result, I like Forest to continue their positive run as favorites and produce a second straight win on Saturday.
