The Premier League slate on October 23 featured just one match, and it was a tight, even affair at Portman Road. Nottingham Forest traveled to face Ipswich Town and the two sides could not be separated, finishing level at 1-1. Neither team was able to grab all three points, leaving both clubs with something to build on but ultimately walking away with a share of the spoils in a competitive midweek clash.
The XO Sports model had this one pegged perfectly on the scoreline, projecting a 1-1 draw, which is exactly how it played out. However, the model sided with Nottingham Forest to win outright, so despite nailing the score, the pick did not land as correct. It was a tough break given how close the prediction was to the actual result. With only one match on the docket, there was no margin for error, and the model came oh so close to a clean sweep on the day.
