Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich Town

Current streaks

Recent form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent form presents a mixed bag of results, with a notable three-match winning streak sandwiched between two defeats. The Reds have shown an impressive attacking prowess, scoring nine goals in their last six matches, including a high-scoring 3-0 victory over West Ham. However, their defensive record has been somewhat inconsistent, conceding eight goals in the same period, with two clean sheets balanced by two matches where they conceded three goals each. Forest's ability to participate in high-scoring affairs is evident, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite the two recent losses, their overall performance has been strong enough to secure a respectable 7th position in the league table, accumulating 19 points from 12 games, which suggests they are punching above their weight in the Premier League this season.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have been struggling in their recent fixtures, managing just one win in their last six matches. The Tractor Boys are currently in a precarious 18th position in the Premier League, having accumulated 9 points from 12 games. Their defensive frailties are evident, with no clean sheets in their last 8 matches and conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game. Despite this, Ipswich have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, notably the 4-3 loss to Brentford and the 4-1 defeat at West Ham. The team experienced a concerning run of three consecutive losses before showing signs of improvement with a draw against Leicester and an impressive away win at Tottenham. Ipswich's ability to score, averaging 1.33 goals per game, offers some hope, but they'll need to tighten up defensively to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing signs of improvement before their latest setback. The Tricky Trees have managed two consecutive wins in their last five home Premier League matches, including an impressive 3-0 victory over West Ham, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. However, their most recent home fixture saw them suffer a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United, breaking their winning streak. Forest have been relatively solid defensively at the City Ground, keeping two clean sheets in their last six home games across all competitions. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just over a goal per game, with 50% of their matches seeing both teams find the net. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent home games have featured fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs at the City Ground.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their latest victory against Tottenham Hotspur breaking a streak of five games without a win on the road. The Tractor Boys have shown resilience in their travels, managing three consecutive draws before suffering two high-scoring defeats. Notably, their away matches have been goal-fests, with an impressive 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of their encounters. Despite conceding an average of 2 goals per game away from home, Ipswich have maintained a respectable scoring rate of 1.5 goals per match. Their defensive vulnerabilities were particularly evident in the 4-3 thriller against Brentford and the 4-1 loss to West Ham, highlighting the team's propensity for entertaining, albeit sometimes costly, away performances.
