Ipswich - Nottingham Forest prediction, H2H and probable lineups - March 15, 2025
One of the matches of the 29th round of the English Championship will be played on Saturday at Portman Road, where local Ipswich will host Nottingham Forest. I suggest betting on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Kieran McKenna's side approaches the upcoming match sitting in 18th position in the league table, trailing Wolverhampton by five points, who occupy the last safe spot. However, the situation remains critical for the team as they have not won in nine Premier League rounds, collecting only two points in that period.
Moreover, Ipswich has lost its last three consecutive matches. At home, the team suffered a crushing defeat to Tottenham (1-4) and lost away to Manchester United (2-3) and Crystal Palace (0-1).
Nottingham Forest managed to break a three-match winless streak in the championship, during which the team drew at home with Arsenal (0-0) and suffered away defeats to Fulham (1-2) and Newcastle (3-4).
In the last round, playing in front of their fans, Nottingham achieved a sensational victory over Manchester City (1-0), scoring the decisive goal at the end of the match. This success allowed the team not only to hold on to third place in the table but also to reduce the gap from the Gunners to four points.

We suggest taking "Nottingham Forest to win" at odds of 2.00.
