Footymad preview History of the Ipswich Town v Nottingham Forest fixture

Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Portman Road on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 13 of the 32 previous games, with the Tractor Boys winning just 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was less than a year ago, in January 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Tractor Boys at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Forest come away with an easy victory. Away win
