Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest

Ipswich have recorded two wins and four losses in their recent matches. Their most recent outing was a narrow defeat away to Manchester City, following a home victory against Fulham. Nottingham Forest have found results difficult to come by, managing one win, two draws, and three losses in their last six matches. They are currently on a three-match losing streak in the Premier League, having most recently been beaten at home by Arsenal. Their defensive unit has kept one clean sheet in that period, while their attack has struggled to find the net consistently.

Nottingham Forest have dominated the recent history between these two sides, having won both of the recorded meetings. They secured an away victory at Ipswich in March 2025 and a home win in November 2024.

• Ipswich have shown a tendency to concede in the first half but have been more productive after the break in their recent matches.
• Nottingham Forest will be without Igor Jesus due to injury, while Morgan Gibbs-White and N. Savona are in doubt for the visitors.
• J. Taylor and S. Lukic are both listed as in doubt for Ipswich.
• Nottingham Forest have averaged more shots per match than their opponents, while Ipswich have generally seen less of the ball.

Ipswich enter this fixture with more positive momentum following their recent league performance compared to a struggling Nottingham Forest side. While the visitors hold a strong historical record in this matchup, their current form and the uncertainty surrounding key player availability could prove challenging. A competitive encounter is anticipated as both sides look to address their respective defensive and attacking concerns.
