Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Nottingham and Ipswich have met thrice in the FA Cup. The Tractor Boys won the first encounter in the 1980-81 season but Nottingham have been victorious in the last two.
Nottingham are unbeaten in their last 15 home matches against Ipswich in all compeitions.
The Tricky Trees have lost four of their last five FA Cup fifth round matches.
This is only the second time that Ipswich have made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup since the turn of the millennium.
The last Premier League side that Ipswich beat in the FA Cup was Blackburn Rovers and it came all the way back in 1995-96.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Ipswich Town
Not only have Ipswich been conceding goals, they have been doing so at an alarming rate, shipping 23 in their last eight matches at an average of nearly three per game. Therefore, even if McKenna's men can extend their scoring sequence to seven games in all competitions, their rearguard frailties should be exposed by Forest, whose fully-fit contingent of attacking options should fire them into the quarter-final draw.
