Friday night October, Ipswich seek points as Forest battle relegation

Portman Road will host a tense Friday night clash on 23 October as Ipswich Town look to add three points while Nottingham Forest head straight into the relegation zone battle.

Premier League preview

Ipswich sit in the top half of the Premier League table, whereas Forest have slipped into the bottom three, making the encounter a crucial test for both sides.

Forest have endured three straight defeats, including a narrow 1‑0 loss to Arsenal at the City Ground last weekend, and have managed only five goals in eight league matches.

Ipswich have won three of their seven top‑flight games, famously pushing Manchester City to a 3‑2 loss, yet they have failed to find the net against Everton and Liverpool.

Gary O’Neil’s side have produced just 23 corners in seven matches, an average of 3.28 per game, a figure that may not rise when Forest visit.

’s bet builder suggests a draw, under 2.5 goals and under 4.5 Ipswich corners, priced at 29/4.

Championship clash offers value

The evening also features a Championship meeting at the University of Bolton Stadium, where Middlesbrough travel to face Bolton.

Nottingham Forest fail to escape relegation zone after Ipswich draw

Middlesbrough have lost only one of their last eleven fixtures, with wins over Norwich, QPR, Stoke and Wolves, while Bolton have dropped three of their previous four home games.

Acca odds of 23/5 combine Middlesbrough, Alaves and Brest to win, reflecting their strong recent form.

Serie A bet of the day

Monza travel to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to meet the White and Reds, a repeat of their 1‑0 Coppa Italia victory last month.

Monza have collected seven points from their opening seven Serie A matches, suffered a 3‑2 loss at Lecce and a 1‑0 defeat to Parma, yet have lost only two of their last six games.

They recorded 19 attempts on Torino’s goal and an expected‑goals figure of 1.99 in the cup tie, while Torino produced 25 attempts and six corners in a 3‑0 win over Parma.

At odds of 21/10, Monza present an attractive Bet of the Day for the upcoming fixture.
