Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest Score Prediction

Ipswich 1-2 Nottingham Forest at 9/1

Ipswich have scored 16 goals in nine games from 12.80 xG, but they average only 11.1 shots per game. At Portman Road they have scored nine goals in five games, beating Sunderland 2-1, Leicester 3-1 and Fulham 2-1, and they have failed to score only against Liverpool. Leif Davis, Emersonn, Chuba Akpom and Zian Flemming have two goals each, and Jack Clarke has three assists. Their defence is the problem. They have conceded 20 goals in nine games from 17.12 xG against, and they have conceded in every game.

Forest have scored only five goals in eight games, but the chances are there. They have 12.33 xG and average 16 shots per game, and away from home those numbers jump to 2.64 xG and 19.3 shots per game. They had 22 shots at Aston Villa and 24 at Crystal Palace. Dan Ndoye leads them with two goals. Liam Delap has one, and Morgan Gibbs-White has a goal and two assists. Forest have conceded 11 goals in eight games from 10.34 xG against, and they have conceded in seven of the eight, with Tottenham the only side to fail to score against them.

Ipswich concede in every game and score at home, so both teams should score at Portman Road. Forest have scored at least once in all three away games and have scored twice in two of them. Forest also won 4-2 on their last visit to Portman Road in March 2025. Their away numbers point to a Forest win. Bet365 offers 9/1 on Ipswich 1-2 Nottingham Forest.
