Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

That means that Ipswich and Nottm Forest will score at least two between them during 90 minutes. It's a prediction based on the recent form of the respective sides, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 75%. Bookies have it at 1.29.

Goal Statistics

Nottingham Forest's defensive record is to be admired, O. Glasner's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive English Premier League matches. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Ipswich Town makes sense in this context.

Nottingham Forest's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday night, not least because Ipswich Town have conceded in each of their last 6 English Premier League games. A PG of 1.5 for O. Glasner's side suggests that run should continue.
