Week 29 of the Premier League season has been anything but conventional, kicking off weeks ago with Aston Villa and Liverpool battling to an electrifying 2-2 draw. That match was pushed forward to accommodate the Reds’ League Cup Final against Newcastle United at Wembley, making for an unusual schedule shuffle.
This week, the Premier League action continues, and with only eight matches on the slate due to Newcastle and Crystal Palace’s fixture being rescheduled for May, the dream of a perfect 10-for-10 prediction remains a distant hope. Still, our expert panel—Joe Prince-Wright, Andy Edwards, and Nick Mendola—has their eyes on getting some spot-on predictions for Week 29. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the weekend’s games.
Premier League Predictions & Betting Odds for Week 29 (2024-25 Season)
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest

Odds: Ipswich (+260) | Forest (+100) | Draw (+250)

Ipswich has been searching for a much-needed win, and they’ve proven they can topple the big names—just ask Chelsea and Spurs.
