Over 2.5 at 52%, under 3.5 at 70%, from expected goals of 1.34 and 1.43.
Draw no bet
Forest at 53% on the two-way split; your stake comes back if it ends level.

Betting notes
How to bet on Ipswich vs Forest
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
- 02
The model leans towards goals: over 2.5 at 52% and both teams to score at 56%. Goals markets look sharper than the result here.
- 03
With the draw only 26%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Forest on the Ipswich +0.5 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
- 04
The corners range is 11-14. The favourite tends to win most of them while the underdog sits deep, so team corners can beat the match total.
