Ipswich Town - Nottingham Forest predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 15/03/2025 played @ Portman Road Stadium refereed by Michael Salisbury

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Ipswich Town are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Nottingham Forest have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

The previous round brought a narrow defeat for Ipswich Town. Betting predictions foresaw an uphill battle considering the home-field disadvantage and incredibly difficult matchup against Crystal Palace . The first half went as well as can be expected, but Crystal Palace pulled ahead as the game progressed and registed a narrow 1:0 victory.

Top online bookmakers expected Tricky Trees to lose their previous Premier League match even though they played as the hosts. Defying the 1.97 betting odds, they ultimately won the bout 1:0 after a draw at halftime, indicating a stronger form than bookies give them credit for.

Ipswich Town’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Forest are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is becoming a big problem for Ipswich Town. They’re still in the relegation zone and are going into a difficult fight, so their chances of moving up are getting smaller with each passing round.

With the season’s end rapidly approaching, Tricky Trees are among the Premier League table leaders. They are sure to be among the best-placed teams at this point. The question, however, is whether they can move up and take the silver.

Despite being favourites, Nottingham Forest couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Ipswich Town. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.88 at Pncl.

Betting tip (stake: 9/10): Over 2,5 1.88 at Pncl
Correct score prediction: 1:2
