Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Nottingham Forest will look to recover from back-to-back losses to Newcastle United and Arsenal when they take on Ipswich Town on Matchday 13. The Reds are desperate to get back on course and a win over Ipswich could see them climb to the Conference League berth. Key attacker Chris Wood is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while midfielder Ibrahim Sangare remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, did well to hold Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United to a draw in front of home fans. The newcomers, though, have been struggling on the travels this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Nottingham Forest’s party at the City Ground. Both Chiedozie Ogbene and George Hirst are out of contention with injuries for the away team. In their last meeting at the City Ground Nottingham Forest defeated Ipswich Town 2-0.
