Ipswich Town v Nottingham Forest

Premier League, Regular season, Matchday 8. Kick-off Friday 23 October, 20:00 UK time, at Portman Road Stadium, Ipswich.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Ipswich Town v Nottingham Forest is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Nottingham Forest will grab a result against an Ipswich Town side that has lost four of their last six games. Forest are 19th, but they are playing better than that. While they have only scored 5 in their last seven, those chances should have brought about 10. They shoot often, taking 102 shots in their last six, yet only 24 were on target from poor positions. Without the midfielder who makes their chances, they lose a big chunk of their goals and their main creative spark. Forest travel well and have Dan Ndoye in form with three goals in his last five games. Clinical finishing from Dan Ndoye decides it.
