Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League Matchday 29 continues its entertaining actions on Saturday noon, with relegation battling Ipswich Town set to welcome Nottingham Forest to Portman Road. Can the the Tractor Boys end their winless streak against European chasing Forest?
Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town are seemingly looking to be among the three clubs that will return to the Championship next season as the Tractor Boys face a huge battle to save themselves from relegation. The Tractor Boys remain the only side in the Premier League that has yet to register a win since the start of the New Year (2025). Last weekend, Kieran McKenna’s side extended their winless streak in the Premier League to nine matches in a row as they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. They have also scored the lowest goal in the top division this season alongside the bottom two clubs, Leicester City and Southampton. The Tractor Boys begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the bottom three and the relegation places, six points adrift of safety.
Kieran McKenna’s side has also struggled when playing on their home soil this season in the league, as they have only managed one win since their arrival in the Premier League. The Tractor Boys have lost each of their last league matches in a row with two or more goals conceded.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest will make the travels to Portman Road on the back of a two-match unbeaten run in the league. Forest continues to show their stand in chasing a heroic Champions League qualification as they claim huge points by holding title-chasing Arsenal to a goalless draw and then last weekend beating defending Champions Manchester City 1-0 at City Ground. Currently, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side comes into the game sitting third in the Premier League table with 51 points, two points behind Chelsea and four behind Manchester City. The Tricky Trees will take confidence in this match to continue their grip on the Champions League qualification, having already beaten Forest twice this season.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are currently struggling with their away form and will need to bounce back having lost each of their last three travel games with a whopping 11 goals conceded during the run. However, they have consistently scored in 11 of their 14 away matches.
