Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest prediction, odds and betting offer
Kieran McKenna’s side Ipswich Town remain the only team in the Premier League in 2025 yet to secure a victory - something they will hope to overcome this weekend
by Tom Phillips · The MirrorIpswich Town’s winless run stretched to nine matches after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on the road.
Kieran McKenna’s side currently sits 18th in the Premier League with 17 points, six points adrift of safety. They remain the only team in the Premier League in 2025 yet to secure a victory. Additionally, Ipswich has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 26 goals, fewer than only Leicester and Southampton.
The club’s key player, Conor Chaplin, is still sidelined due to injury and will miss Saturday’s match. Additionally, Arijanet Muric, Wes Burns, Chiedozie Ogbene, Sammie Szmodics, and Axel Tuanzebe will all be unavailable, all of whom are considered potential starters for Ipswich.
Ipswich Town's predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Davis, Greaves, Woolfenden, O’Shea; Cajuste, Morsy; Clarke, Enciso, Philogene; Delap.
On the other hand, Forest’s remarkable season continues, with a stunning 1-0 victory over Manchester City in their most recent match. At the start of the season, few would have expected this fixture to be a battle for the top four, but Forest has defied expectations. With 51 points from 28 matches, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men are four points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester City and are closing in on a potential Champions League spot.
Nottingham Forest has no major injury concerns, though Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel will miss out due to injury. Nottingham Forest's predicted lineup against Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.
Nottingham Forest has a prime opportunity to add more points as they face struggling Ipswich Town. In their last five head-to-head encounters, Forest has won three times, and given the current form of both teams, Forest is the clear favorite. Ipswich Town’s injury problems, combined with their offensive struggles, will make it difficult for them to break down Forest's well-organized defense.
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday.
