Tractor Boys to deny Forest important win

Championship Betting

Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Betting Preview – Championship 7th May 12:00 pm

Can Forest land a win which will give them the best shot of staying up? That won’t actually guarantee them survival if Blackburn wins their remaining game and overturn the goal difference advantage that Forest have over them (which is just one). So this is a tough finish for Forest who have drawn their last three on home soil against the Tractor Boys.

Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Betting Tips

The survival scenario for Nottingham Forest is pretty simple. They only have to match what Blackburn do to stay up. That’s it but that still leaves them with a tough afternoon. Forest have a W11 D4 L7 record at home this season in the Championship and they aren’t in great form right now as they have won just two of their last ten games in the league (D2 L6). As a positive though, both wins did come at home and actually the Tricky Trees have won two of their last three on home turf. Forest landed a great 3-2 win over Reading in their last home league game to boost their survival hopes, but they have just the one clean sheet in their last ten league games, so they are likely to ship. Both teams to score in this one at Sky Bet is a quote of 4/6. Forest did take a 2-0 win out at Ipswich back in mid-November but they have drawn their last three home games against the Tractor Boys (unbeaten in four).

Ipswich are just a bit hit and miss at the moment and that can be seen recently after landing a great home win over Newcastle, they went and lost against bottom side Rotherham. The Tractor Boys have won just three of their last fourteen league games (D7 L4) and therefore are lacking a bit of punch with all of those drawn matches in there. Out on the road, they have picked up just the one win in their last seven (D3 L3) and have only posted a W5 D6 L11 record away from home this season overall. They may offer some stubborn resistance to Forest on the day and under 2.5 goals for the game at Sky Bet fetches a price of 6/5 and three of the last four between these at the City Ground have gone that way. This is probably going to be very tense for Forest and in the Sky Bet correct score market a 1-1 draw is running at 13/2 and going to have some decent appeal.
