Nottingham Forest v Ipswich

Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Preview

Nottingham Forest were dealt a second defeat on the trot in last weekend's Premier League action as the Tricky Trees were felled by a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Arsenal which resulted in Forest dropping down the table to seventh place.

Ipswich Town extended their unbeaten run in the English top flight to three games overall after holding Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at home but the Suffolk based club still remain sitting in the bottom three of the Premier League table.

After producing a solid but nevertheless impressive start to this new Premier League season with just one defeat incurred within their opening 10 league matches, the east midlands hosts have since been brought back down to earth following back-to-back losses at the hands of Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively.

However, Nottingham Forest will be eager to return to the home surroundings of their City Ground to take on lowly Ipswich Town as The Reds look to return to winning ways at the expense of one of the newcomers to this season's top flight on Saturday afternoon.

Honours have been pretty even where the Tricky Trees have been concerned as Nuno Espírito Santo's side have picked up two wins, involved in two draws but have also been dealt two defeats as well so far on home soil.

Ipswich Town have picked up five points from their last three games overall in the Premier League thanks to picking up points in draws with Leicester City and Manchester United along with recording their first win of this season's top flight campaign with a 2-1 win away from home at Tottenham.

However, although the Tractor Boys have picked up points in no fewer than six stalemates so far (making Kieran McKenna's side the draw specialists in the division), the visitors have also been handed five defeats within their opening 12 league matches as well.

Results away from home have also been pretty disappointing from Ipswich Town's point of view as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins from their last 10 outings on the road in all competitions, whilst also slipping to five losses within this period.

To make matters worse, Ipswich Town have managed to keep just one clean sheet in their previous 10 away games which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to the City Ground to take on a solidly performing Nottingham Forest outfit in their own backyard.

Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Town Verdict

Nottingham Forest have held the upper hand over Ipswich Town in previous encounters as the Tricky Trees have won four of the last six meetings and another three points looks likely to be collected by the hosts on Saturday as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Nottingham Forest win @ 1.66
