Nottingham vs Ipswich Prediction & Betting Tips (30 November)

Expected in the fight not to go down this season, Nottingham Forest exceeds expectations. Indeed, Nuno Espirito Santo's men occupy an unexpected 7th place in the Premier League, 3 points behind the Big 4. They are the ones who have inflicted the only defeat on leader Liverpool so far. On the other hand, after having signed 3 consecutive victories over Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham, Nottingham Forest let go during the last 2 days with setbacks suffered against Newcastle 1-3 and Arsenal 3-0. Back in the elite this season after a long absence, Ipswich is logically in difficulty.

The promoted team is currently 18th in the Premier League and has the same number of points as the first non-relegation team. Unable to win during the first 10 days with 5 draws and 5 defeats, the Tractor Boys then created a huge surprise just before the international break in November. Indeed, they managed to win in the den of Tottenham 1-2. Last weekend, Ipswich had a second positive result by holding off Manchester United 1-1 in front of their fans.

Nottingham Forest still cannot count on injured starting midfielders Danilo and Sangaré. Also absent on the last day, executives Anderson and Gibbs-White are uncertain. After making a long trip to play with his national team, New Zealand striker Chris Wood (8 goals in PL) started on the bench against Arsenal. He should find a starting place this Saturday. For Ipswich, long-missing defender Donacien is still injured as are replacement forwards Ogbene and Hirst.

Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the participation of defender Greaves, midfielder Phillips and striker Broadhead. Against Manchester United, it was attacking midfielder Hutchinson who scored the equalizer. He should be renewed this weekend just like the attackers Szmodics (3 goals in PL) and Delap (6 goals in PL). Ipswich have the 18th defense in the Championship.
