Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest: Prediction & Odds

  • 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.ย 

Nuno Espirito Santoโ€™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.ย

Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction

Based on Nottingham Forestโ€™s strong record as a favorite and their outstanding defense, my Ipswich Town vs. Nottingham Forest prediction is the Forest Moneyline (+115).ย 

Forest offer a strong profile as a market favorite thanks to their brilliant defensive record.ย 

Santoโ€™s side ranks fourth in expected goals against and seventh in post-shot expected goals allowed, per fbref.com.ย 

Because of that defensive record, Forest has excelled against teams possessing the leagueโ€™s worst attacks.ย 

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.ย 

Across all nine matches, Forest recorded a +9.8 post-shot expected goal differential.ย 

In two previous trips to promoted teams, Forest are 2-0-0 with a +3 xGDiff and +2.3 post-shot xGDiff.ย 

Conversely, Ipswich has previously struggled against the leagueโ€™s best defenses.ย 

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.ย 

Finally, history likes this spot to back Nottingham Forest.ย 

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 underdogโ€™s previous game margin is -2 or -1
  • The teamโ€™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.ย 

As a result, I like Forest to continue their positive run as favorites and produce a second straight win on Saturday.ย
