Premier League Quick Preview: Ipswich Town Vs Nottingham Forest
Ipswich are looking to secure back-to-back home wins when they face Nottingham Forest on Friday night.
Check out our BetBuilderAI predictions for Ipswich Town Vs Nottingham Forest tonight.
Ipswich are on nine points from seven games, an up-and-down run of three wins and four defeats that includes a chastening 2-5 loss at Old Trafford and, more recently, a battling 2-1 win over Crystal Palace before a narrow defeat at Everton.
Forest sit four points back in 19th, winless in three after a solitary win over Villa was followed by those successive defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Arsenal last time out.
Despite their poor form, Oliver Glasner's side are favourites on UK betting sites to beat the Tractor Boys.
Forest’s Shot Count Keeps Climbing, Ipswich’s Defence Keeps Leaking
Forest have registered 14+ shots in four straight games, a run that’s produced goals against Villa but not much else - their 24 shots at Palace brought just one.
Ipswich’s own defensive numbers have been generous throughout, conceding goals in every single game this season, including 33 shots faced at Old Trafford.
Ipswich haven’t been shy going forward either, hitting double-figure shots in five of seven, though their conversion has been inconsistent - 11 goals scored across the seven games so far, including two at the Etihad.
Discipline Picture
Forest have picked up a card in all seven league games and have drawn 10+ fouls from opponents in six of seven games - a genuinely physical side regardless of the scoreline.
Ipswich’s cards have followed a similar pattern, with at least one shown in six of their seven contests.
It's 1/4 on betting apps for both teams to receive a card and 5/4 for two or more cards to be shown to both sides.
