Command Analysis
Ipswich Town
Current form
Ipswich is confidently coping with the main task of maintaining a residence permit. Gary O'Neill's team scored nine points in seven rounds and occupy the interim tenth place. Tractor players got six of the total nine points at home, beating Sunderland and Fulham 2-1 in difficult matches with the same score. In the last round, Ipswich played away from Manchester City, put up decent resistance, hit the leader's goal twice, but eventually lost with a score of 2:3.
Disqualifications and injuries
Taylor will miss the game due to injury. Lukic's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of Ipswich's last five matches, more than one goal has been scored in the first half.
No more than two offsides were recorded in four of Ipswich's previous six matches.
Nottingham Forest has entered the new season under the leadership of Oliver Glasner and is still performing well below expectations and betting tips. The Foresters have scored only five points in seven rounds played, with which they occupy 19th place in the relegation zone. The team is approaching the upcoming match on a series of three defeats. Nottingham Forest forced the fight everywhere, created a decent number of dangerous moments, but could not win. In the last round, Oliver Glasner's team played Arsenal on their own field, held on until the 80th minute, the score on the scoreboard was 0:0, but still conceded and lost 0:1. It is characteristic that the foresters allowed the Gunners to land only one shot on goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Igor Jesus and Savona are injured, Gibbs-White is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four of the last five matches involving Nottingham Forest, a tie with an accurate score of 0-0 was recorded in the first half.
Nottingham Forest had not lost on shots on goal in four of the previous five matches
Nottingham Forest scored only five points in seven rounds, is in the relegation zone, but the quality of the game clearly deserves more. Oliver Glasner's players constantly create a decent number of dangerous moments, they know how to adjust to the opponent, but there are problems with implementation. In the last round, the foresters held off Arsenal, allowing the Londoners to land just one shot on target, however, this did not save them from defeat. Nevertheless, Forest has a decent potential and today they are rightfully the favorites with Ipswich. Tractor drivers are not stable, they alternate between victories and defeats, and in general, they are inferior in terms of composition to their upcoming opponent.
Our prediction is that Nottingham Forest will win with an Asian handicap (0) by a factor of 1.67
Nottingham Forest, despite being in the basement of the standings, conceded only nine goals. The day before, the foresters held off a powerful Arsenal attack. We don't think Ipswich will be able to score more than one goal today.
The second bet is Ipswich's individual goal total of less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
When choosing a corner bet, we rely on a steady trend among the hosts. In six of the previous seven Ipswich matches, no more than nine innings were played from the corner flag. Nottingham Forest is also not famous for the large number of corners in their matches.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.77
