Our prediction for the match Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
McKenna’s footballers did something incredible. They had returned to the Championship after the last but one cycle. And the club immediately took 2nd place there, earning a new promotion in the class. The representatives of Nottingham replaced Cooper, who had raised and kept the legendary club in the Premier League, during the previous draw. Still, that pragmatic step was justified: Nuno Espirito Santo did not allow relegation, despite a point penalty for deviations from financial fair play.
Now the Portuguese specialist is creating a sensation. He makes everyone reread the club’s history, where there is a lot to remember, but it’s definitely been a long time since they played in the Champions League (and the mentor is getting closer). At the same time, victories have been harder and rarer since mid-winter. A 1-0 success in the struggle with Manchester City, by the way, a direct competitor, is all the more important. On the other hand, there is the cup tournament, where the team beat 2 previous opponents on penalties. And it was Ipswich in March! Speaking about the Premier League, the newcomer did not show such a desire to fight. It goes without saying that it is not as bad as the more experienced participant, Southampton. Still, the club, despite all the strengthening of the squad, is simply too weak for the Premier League. Crystal Palace also defeated the team in the previous round 0-1.
Delap and the company score a little less than a goal per round. At the same time, they concede 2.07 goals in response. One of the leaders of this tournament does not have a particularly bright ratio, although clearly positive – 1.61 / 1.18.
