Personal analysis: Nottingham is the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season. The reason why the team has such good results has a lot to do with the construction of the defensive system. In terms of the current defensive ability of the team, it is no worse than any giant team. The team's offensive style is relatively simple, and it is more about using high-speed breakthroughs to find counterattack opportunities. Among them, White and Hudson-Odoi have a high proportion of breakthrough and offensive organization capabilities. Elanga is more about passing the ball to his teammates in front of the goal in positional battles, and Wood is a pure confrontational shooter. The offensive coordination between the four is quite tacit. Almost all the players of the team retreated in the positional defense, especially the two central defenders Milenkovic and Murillo, who cooperated well in front of the goal. When their teammates missed someone, they had strong ability to predict and fill in. Murillo is a player of the first echelon level in the Premier League in terms of the position of a single central defender. At such a young age, the chance of him going to a giant club in the future is very high. Ipswich's forward style is relatively simple, basically breaking through the wing and passing the ball to the goal, but there are not many ending points on the front line, even the center forward Delap is not good at finding opportunities. Except for Hutchinson, who has a slightly stronger breakthrough ability, the other players on the two wingers can only be said to be barely enough in the Premier League. The team's three-back defense style of play is too demanding for the midfielders. At present, the back line cannot even do a good job of defense in the basic positional defense. In the absence of reinforcements in the winter window, the probability of relegation this season is very high.

Nottingham Forest is much stronger than Ipswich in terms of overall strength, especially in terms of Ipswich's offensive ability, it is difficult for them to cause trouble to Nottingham Forest's defense, and Nottingham Forest's forwards counterattack very quickly. When the offense and defense rhythm change quickly, Ipswich has no chance of winning. As teams in the same league, Nottingham Forest is likely to start with all the main players. In this game, Nottingham Forest's home game handicap of 0.75 goals is low. Lao Li predicts that the possibility of Nottingham Forest's breakthrough in this game is not too high. I recommend Ipswich +1 unbeaten direction, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 1-1.
