Two sides with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the English top flight campaign face off this weekend as Ipswich Town play host to Nottingham Forest.
Ipswich Town have given their fans some good performances of late, especially in the final third, but they need to do more. The Tractor Boys have not won a league game since beating Chelsea 2-0 at this ground in December. Kieran McKenna's men are winless in nine Premier League games, losing six and drawing two. Their poor run of form has left them in the bottom three, but just six points clear of safety.
Nottingham Forest meanwhile ended a five-match winless streak last weekend with a 1:0 victory over reigning champions Manchester City. Thanks to that win, Nuno's men boosted their Champions League hopes and could make things even better with another win at Portman Road this weekend.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Saturday's game will be the second meeting between these two sides in just over two weeks. The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the 5th round of the FA Cup a fortnight ago and I fancy another tight encounter this weekend.
Forest have been pretty solid defensively of late, conceding under one goal in each of their last three games, while Ipswich Town conceded as many goals in their last two encounters.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest prediction: 0-2

Ipswich Town team news
Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna will continue to rely on the services of Liam Delap who has ten goals in the Premier League this season.
The forward is at risk of a suspension though, as he has already received a yellow card on nine occasions this season.
Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles tendon), Wes Burns (knee), Christian Walton (foot) and Omari Hutchinson (knee) will all be unavailable this weekend for the hosts through injury.

Nottingham Forest team news
Carlos Miguel has missed Nottingham Forest's last six games with a hamstring injury and Saturday's trip to Portman Road comes too soon for the goalkeeper.
Callum Hudson-Odoi's winner against Manchester City last time out took his tally for the season to five and the former Chelsea man is expected to link up with Wood and Elanga in the final third this weekend.
