Ipswich Town form (last 5): 2W-0D-3L. Nottingham form (last 5): 1W-2D-2L.

Ipswich is missing midfield depth with Jack Taylor (knee) and explosive winger Abdul Issahaku (suspension). However, the inclusion of World Cup winner Exequiel Palacios provides superior central control. Forest faces a crisis in defense; the absence of Nikola Milenković and Nicolò Savona leaves them vulnerable to Ipswich's high-pressing wingers, putting immense pressure on Murillo to lead a makeshift backline.

Ipswich Town have won 3, drawn 0 and lost 0 of 3 matches against clubs in the bottom third this season, average goal difference +1.0. Nottingham are 18th in the table.

Ipswich Town score at home 1.3 goals on average and concede 1.3 (3 matches). Nottingham score away 1.7 goals on average and concede 2.0 (3 matches).

Narrow Home Victory (42%): Ipswich leverages their home crowd and current momentum to secure a one-goal win as Forest's depleted defense eventually buckles.; Score Draw Stalemate (33%): Forest's potent away attack (2.00 goals/game) compensates for their defensive gaps, resulting in a high-scoring 1-1 or 2-2 draw.; Clinical Away Counter (25%): Gibbs-White and Ndoye catch Ipswich's high line on the break multiple times, leading to an upset away victory.

Ipswich Town are 10th in the Premier League with 9 points from 7 games. Nottingham are 18th with 5 points from 7 games.
