Recent form
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town have been struggling in recent matches, currently sitting in 18th position in the Premier League with just 17 points from 28 games. Their last six matches have seen a mixed bag of results, with one win, two draws, and three losses. The Tractor Boys are experiencing a concerning five-game winless streak in all competitions, with their last victory coming in a high-scoring 4-1 FA Cup triumph over Coventry City. Defensively, Ipswich have been porous, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 matches and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six outings. Their most recent Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat at home, highlighting their defensive frailties. Despite their struggles, Ipswich have managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five of their last six matches and averaging 1.5 goals per game during this period.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite their third-place position in the league, the Reds have struggled for consistency, drawing three times and losing twice in this period. Their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding nine goals in six games, including a high-scoring 4-3 defeat to Newcastle United. However, Forest have managed to keep two clean sheets, most notably in their impressive 1-0 victory over Manchester City and a goalless draw against Arsenal. The team's attacking output has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, with both teams scoring in 67% of their recent matches. Interestingly, Forest's games have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs and more open encounters, with half of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town's recent home form has been concerning, with the Tractor Boys suffering a worrying run of four consecutive Premier League defeats at Portman Road. This poor streak has been punctuated by some heavy losses, notably a 6-0 drubbing by Manchester City, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite this downturn, Ipswich did manage to secure two wins prior to their losing run, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup and an impressive 2-0 triumph against Chelsea in the league. However, their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game over their last six home matches, whilst struggling to find the net themselves with just 1.17 goals scored per game. The team's inability to keep clean sheets in league matches at home is a significant concern, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals scored, suggesting that Ipswich Town's home fixtures have been entertaining for neutrals, if not for their own supporters.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a concerning trend of three consecutive losses in their last three away matches. Despite their overall strong league position, their away performances have been inconsistent. The Tricky Trees have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, notably the 7-goal thriller against Newcastle United and the 5-0 drubbing at Bournemouth. Their defensive record has been particularly worrying, conceding 13 goals in their last six away games, with an average of 2.17 goals conceded per match. However, Forest have shown they can be potent in attack, scoring 11 goals in these six games, including impressive 3-0 and 2-0 victories against Wolves and Everton respectively. The team's propensity for high-scoring matches is evident, with 83% of their recent away games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their recent struggles, Forest have managed two clean sheets in this period, highlighting their potential for defensive solidity when they're at their best.
