Odds quoted in this analysis are as of 19.10 at 08:54 UTC

Goals have followed Nottingham Forest on their travels. All three of their away games this season have ended with both teams scoring, at an average of 3.7 goals a match. Ipswich Town score and concede 1.3 per game at home and have yet to keep a clean sheet in front of their own crowd in the Premier League, with goals at both ends in two of their three home matches. Forest get plenty of efforts away — 18 shots a game — and average 1.7 scored and two conceded on the road. The previous meetings went the same way: Forest won 4-2 at Portman Road and the sides drew 1-1 in the FA Cup, both in March 2025.

Where we could be wrong

There is a case the other way. Forest look a different side at home, where four matches have gone by without them scoring at all, and they do have one clean sheet to their name this season. Drizzle and a 21 km/h wind will not help the finishing either, and Ipswich have twice been kept off the scoresheet. Even so, our pick is both teams to score at odds of 1.62.

The bet comes from the largest group of AI models pointing the same way (a home win and a home handicap count as one view), and within that group it is the bet named most often; if two groups are level, the one priced closer to the bookmakers' line is taken — how we calculate
