Free Betting Tips for Ipswich vs Forest Green

If you can’t seem to decide on a bet for Ipswich vs Forest Green, check our top betting predictions for this duel here:

Ipswich & Over 1.5 Goals

Promotion-chasing Ipswich might have stumbled of late, but they remain impressive hosts. The Tractor Boys scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 home league games. At the same time, Forest Green are in last place and adrift from safety after going winless in 11 consecutive rounds. The Green Devils lost 9 of those 11 games. Due to all that our first Ipswich vs Forest Green prediction is for the hosts to win and the game to have over 1.5 goals.

Ladapo to Score & Ipswich to Win

With our second Ipswich vs Forest Green prediction we again back the hosts to win. This time we also think Ladapo, Ipswich’s second-best goalscorer with 11 league goals, will be able to score at any time.

Ladapo has been Ipswich’s most dangerous striker over the last 5 rounds with 2.3 big chances created. Also in all 3 home games in which Ladapo has scored so far Ipswich won. So, with that in mind, we feel confident that if Ladapo is to score again the Tractor Boys will win again.

Ipswich to Score First in First Half

Ipswich scored 5 of their last 6 home league goals in the first halves of matches. They also start games well and already have scored 10 league goals inside the opening 20 minutes. This is why with our final Ipswich vs Forest Green prediction we suggest that Ipswich will score first and they will do that in the first half.

Ipswich vs Forest Green Lineups and Team News

Ipswich

Ipswich’s chances to catch the top 2 shrank after a 5-game winless run. Despite the lack of wins, the displays hadn’t been that bad and the lack of luck played a huge part in why Ipswich failed to win any of their last 5.

There are plenty of options for rotation with the health of the squad good, the only notable player set to miss is midfielder Evans. Ipswich have impressive depth and they certainly won’t fear much the short turnaround between matches.

Forest Green

Forest Green are now facing a near-impossible task if they want to avoid relegation. The morale of the group is very low after an 11-game winless run during which just 2 draws were achieved.

Important centre-back Moore-Taylor remains sidelined. The only other possible absentee is that of defender Cargill, who is listed as doubtful.
