Command Analysis

Nottingham Forest

Current form
Nottingham Forest is having one of its most successful seasons. In the Premier League, after 27 rounds, the Foresters are in third place. Undoubtedly, a certain decline in the game is noticeable, but there is no outright failure at a distance. A clear confirmation was the match of the last round at home against Arsenal (0-0). The Londoners had a tangible territorial advantage, but the hosts allowed them to land only two shots on goal. Of course, the foresters themselves practically did not threaten the opponent's goal, but in any case, a draw with such an opponent deserves respect.
The competition in the Premier League for a place in the top four is decent. Nottingham Forest is one point ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City. Chelsea is still two points behind. It should be noted that since the beginning of the season, the wards of Nuno Espirito Santo have suffered only two defeats on their own field in the Premier League.
In the FA Cup, Nottingham Forest first defeated Luton Town 2-0 on their own field, and then managed only a series of 11-meter shots on the road. A year ago, Nottingham finished their performance in the Cup at the 1/8 finals stage, losing to Manchester United (0:1) at their arena.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Miguel will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In two of the last three matches, Nottingham Forest had drawn in the first half
- In three of the four previous matches of the Foresters, an exchange of goals was recorded.
- Nottingham Forest has not lost in the Cup in regular time in six of the last seven games
- In six of the last seven matches in the FA Cup, Nottingham Forest have conceded
Approximate line–up: Hennessy – Toffolo, Morato, Boli - Moreira, Yates, Sangare, Moreno – Jota Silva, Avonyi, Sosa.

Ipswich Town

Current form
Ipswich is predictably fighting for survival in the Premier League, but the squad is not the strongest by the standards of the tournament to solve any more serious problems. So far, after 27 rounds, tractor drivers occupy the 18th place in the relegation zone, with a gap of five points from the saving 17-1 line.
Recently, Ipswich has rarely pleased its fans with positive results in the Premier League. In the previous seven rounds, they managed to score only one point, drawing 1-1 with Aston Villa. On the eve of the cup game, Kieran McKenna's team fought on the road with Manchester United, opened the scoring first, but still could not stand up due to their own defensive mistakes and lost 2:3. Weak defensive play is the key problem of tractor drivers - they conceded 57 goals in 27 league games, only two others have more outsiders, Leicester and Southampton.
Things are going well in the Cup so far. Kieran McKenna's team played with representatives of the lower divisions in the previous two rounds and scored confident victories over Bristol Rovers (3:0) and Coventry City (4:1). It should be noted that Ipswich Town has made a step forward in the Cup compared to last season, when they finished at the stage of the 1/16 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ogbene, Burns, Walton and Enciso will not play today due to injuries. The entry of Phillips and Chaplin into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Ipswich have drawn in the first half.
- In the previous nine matches in the Ipswich Cup, they had suffered only two defeats.
- At least three goals have been scored in eight of Ipswich's previous nine Cup matches.
- In five of the last six matches, Ipswich players have fouled more often than their opponents.
Approximate composition: Palmer–Johnson, Wolfenden, Burgess, Townsend–Luongo, Cayuste–Phylogenes, Taylor, Clark–Hirst.

Tip and bets
The rivals are solving important tournament tasks, and in previous cup matches it was noticeable that neither Nottingham Forest nor Ipswich were betting on the Cup, as they did not involve the main teams. There is a high probability that we will see a lot of reservists today. The foresters have an important home field factor on their side, and in general, the hosts have more opportunities to rotate the squad, given that the opponent also has a decent number of injured. We believe that the Nuno Espirito Santo team will qualify for the quarterfinals at the end of regular time.
Our prediction is that Nottingham Forest will win by a factor of 1.72
Bet on the total
Ipswich regularly fails defensively, conceding more than one goal per match. In the last six lost matches, taking into account all tournaments, tractor drivers allowed their opponents to hit their gates at least twice. We do not think that there will be an exception today, especially since we are not waiting for the main cast of the guests.
The second bet is Nottingham Forest's individual goal total over 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.77
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
It should be noted that in three of the last six matches lost, Ipswich lost by two or three goals. On their own field, Nottingham Forest is clearly capable of getting a comfortable victory.
Prediction – Nottingham Forest will win by two or three goals with a 3.40 coefficient
