Ipswich Preview: Tractor Boys falling away
Ipswich Town come into this one on the back of yet another points thrown away late on in games as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace with Senegal international attacker Ismaila Sarr notching the only goal of the game late in the second-half.
The Tractor Boys begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the bottom three and the relegation places, six points adrift of safety. They have failed to win in the league since defeating Chelsea at Portman Road in their final game of 2024.
Nottingham Forest Preview: Chasing UCL qualification
Nottingham Forest have been in some rocky form of late but they recently reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a penalty shootout victory against Ipswich a couple of weeks ago and now look in a good position to cement UEFA Champions League qualification.
With the top five set to be enough to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League, Nottingham Forest will be very confident as they sit third ahead of this match day, having defeated Manchester City by a goal to nil at the City Ground last weekend.

Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Ipswich Town will believe it is approaching last chance saloon for them if they are to launch any sort of survival bid and it would have to start with home form. Nottingham Forest are heading into the March international break in a position they could have only dreamed about ten months ago when they avoided relegation on the final day of the season. Both teams scoring may well be a good bet, as was the case in the cup game at the City Ground a couple of weeks ago, but siding against Ipswich is always sensible.
