- Both Teams to Score: Yes (4/7) / No (13/10)
- Over/Under 2.5 Goals: Over 2.5 (7/10) / Under 2.5 (11/10)

Ipswich Town Betting Trends
Many tipped Ipswich for an instant return to the EFL Championship. However, they have made a solid start under new boss Gary O’Neil, winning three out of seven and sitting in the top half.
If Ipswich win tonight, they'll be level on points with fifth-place Liverpool and just a point away from the top four.
- Ipswich have taken six points from a possible nine at home.
- Town came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 in their last EPL game at Portman Road.
- O’Neil’s side have lost three of their last four in all competitions.
Ipswich put up a brave fight against leaders Manchester City last weekend, falling to a narrow 3-2 reverse at the Etihad Stadium. Can they bounce back with three points tonight?
Nottingham Forest Betting Trends
Nottingham Forest are desperate for their season to kick into life under their new manager. A win tonight would ease the pressure and lift the Reds into mid-table.
Oliver Glasner has yet to get going at the City Ground, guiding Nottingham Forest to just one win from seven Premier League games. The Reds are a point off the bottom in 19th.
- Nottingham Forest have won just one EPL game this season.
- The Reds have suffered three straight league losses.
- Only bottom side Sunderland have amassed fewer points.
Since their 2-1 win at Villa Park five weeks ago, Forest have suffered three straight league defeats. Last weekend, Glasner’s boys lost 1-0 at home to champions Arsenal. Can they end the woe and leave Suffolk with a massive three points?
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Draw & Both Teams to Score (10/3)
Ipswich may be a newly promoted team, but they have had little problems finding the net. Only Merseyside duo Liverpool and Everton have stopped O’Neil’s troops from scoring in the Premier League this term.
In contrast, goals have been hard to come by for Nottingham Forest, as the Reds have failed to net in five league and cup matches under Glasner. That said, they should have enough quality to break through Ipswich’s defence tonight.
This is a tricky fixture to call, especially as it’s taking place at Portman Road. With that in mind, we are siding with the draw and both teams to score, available at 10/3 with 10Bet.
