Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich

Chris Wood is Nottingham Forest’s joint-top goalscorer in Premier League history along with Bryan Roy (24 each), while he’s one of only two players to be either top or joint-top goalscorer for two different sides  in the competition (Burnley also), along with Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United).

Nottingham Forest have earned 22 points from their first 13 Premier League games this season (W6 D4 L3); only in 1994-95 (8 games) and 1995-96 (10 games) have they reached 20 points after fewer games in a Premier League campaign.

Ipswich are yet to win a Premier League game this season in which they’ve conceded first (D2 L4), while they’re winless in their last 15 league trips to Nottingham Forest (D6 L9).

Nottingham Forest have lost just one of their six league meetings with Ipswich (W4 D1), with this the first between the sides since a 1-1 draw in March 2019.

Ipswich are winless in their last 14 away league games against Nottingham Forest (D6 L8), with their last such victory coming in December 1999 (1-0 thanks to a Matt Holland goal).

Nottingham Forest and Ipswich have met each other four times in the Premier League – Ipswich won both meetings in 1992-93 as Forest were relegated, while Forest won both games in 1994-95 with the Tractor Boys going down.

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games against promoted sides (W5 D3), winning the last four in a row. Forest had failed to win any of their previous 15 such games before this run (D9 L6).

Having lost just one of their first 10 Premier League games this season, Nottingham Forest have now lost both of their last two. They’ve conceded three goals in these defeats (1-3 v Newcastle, 0-3 v Arsenal), as many times as they’d conceded 3+ goals in their previous 22 league games combined.
