Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Town: Betting Preview.

Updated: 15/01/2025

Rock-bottom Ipswich Town head to The City Ground on Saturday to take on a Nottingham Forest side brimming with confidence after an incredible display saw them draw 5-5 against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

Reds fans will understandably be expecting a win on Saturday against a beleaguered Ipswich side – especially given how strongly The Reds have been performing so far this season and this is reflected in the odds, provided by BetBright, below:

Full-time result

Nottingham Forest – 8/13
Draw – 13/5
Ipswich Town – 5/1

Ipswich have not shown much improvement yet under new manager Paul Lambert and, worryingly, they continue to ship plenty of goals.
Wednesday aside, Forest have looked strong in defence all season and could well expect to strengthen their position in the play-off places with another win and potentially another clean sheet.

Both teams to score

Yes – 1/1
No – 7/10

Before conceding five goals in Wednesday night’s epic, Forest had only conceded one goal in their previous five Championship encounters. They face an Ipswich side who have only won one of their last eight fixtures and who have only kept one clean sheet all season.

It’s very easy to see why the home support will be expecting goals again on Saturday.

Total goals over/under

Under (0.5) – 15/2
Under (1.5) – 21/10
Under (2.5) – 8/11
Over (2.5) – 21/20
Over (3.5) – 13/5
Over (4.5) – 13/2

An integral part of Forest’s success this season continues to be their leading scorer, Lewis Grabban, who has now notched up 12 goals in his last 12 Championship appearances.

Joe Lolley also continues to be extremely influential for The Reds, with an incredible goal and four assists against Aston Villa on Wednesday night – fancy him to score at the weekend?

Check out the odds from BetBright below…

First goalscorer

Lewis Grabban – 16/5
Daryl Murphy – 9/2
Karim Ansarifard – 5/1
Joe Lolley – 6/1
