Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest predicted formations

Ipswich Town host Nottingham Forest at Portman Road Stadium on Friday, October 23 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

Nottingham Forest will be without the injured Igor Jesus and Nicolo Savona, while doubtful pair Nikola Milenkovic and Morgan Gibbs-White add further uncertainty to the visitors’ plans. Ipswich Town are missing the suspended Issahaku Fatawu but can call on striker Emersonn Correia da Silva, who has 2 goals from 11 shots in 392 minutes this season, and defender Leif Davis, who has also scored 2 goals and created 4 chances. For the visitors, attacking midfielder Dan Ndoye carries the biggest goal threat with 2 goals from 15 shots, while striker Liam Delap offers a focal point if Gibbs-White is left out.

Ipswich Town have 9 points from 3 wins to Nottingham Forest’s 5 points from 1 win and 2 draws, with both sides sharing a -3 goal difference after 6 games apiece. Ipswich head into this one off a 2-1 home win over Fulham, while Forest’s run continues after a 3-1 loss at Crystal Palace. Goals look likely at both ends, with the hosts’ attacking options at Portman Road nudging this toward a narrow home win.
