Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Premier League: Everything you need to know
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Form
Ipswich have won one and lost three of their last five competitive matches, with their sole victory coming in a 3-2 away win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 home defeat to Everton, and they also suffered a heavy 5-2 loss to Manchester United earlier in that run. Across those five games, the Tractor Boys have scored eight goals but conceded nine, suggesting a team capable of producing attacking moments yet vulnerable at the back.
Nottingham Forest's recent record reads one win, two draws, and two defeats across their last five. The win came away at Aston Villa, and they held both Tottenham and Liverpool — results that speak to their capacity to grind out points against strong opposition. However, back-to-back Premier League defeats, including last weekend's 1-0 loss to Coventry City, have dented confidence heading into this trip.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest: Recent Head-to-Head Record

Across the five most recent encounters on record, Forest have the stronger return, though Ipswich did claim a share of the spoils in an FA Cup replay that same spring.
