Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town FA Cup Prediction Match Details
The FA Cup fifth round draws the curtain at City Ground as Nottingham Forest welcomes Ipswich Town on Monday night. Can high-flying Forest advance to the quarterfinal?
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest will come to the fifth round of the FA Cup on the back of a three-match winless streak in the Premier League, losing two consecutive matches and playing a draw. However, they are considered one of this season’s surprise packages as they are currently vying for a historic Champions League qualification next season. During their midweek game, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side frustrated title-chasing Arsenal to a goalless draw at the City Ground on Wednesday night. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have picked up just two wins from their last six, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. The Reds made it to this stage of the FA Cup competitions by beating Luton 2-0 at home and then requiring penalties to win at Exeter City.
Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town will come into this game on the back of a three-match winless streak and have only picked up one win in the last eight matches across all competitions. The Tractor Boys are currently struggling with form at the moment, and they seem destined to return to the championship if they fail to get the right results. Last weekend, Kieran McKenna’s side was beaten 3-2 by Manchester United on Wednesday night despite the Red Devils being reduced to 10 men in the first half of the game. They are currently in the bottom three, five points adrift of safety in the Premier League. They made the progress to this stage of the FA competitions by beating Bristol Rovers 3-0 and then Coventry 4-1 in the previous rounds.
