Friday's hosts Ipswich Town sit comfortably in mid-table, having picked up nine points from their opening seven league games and will fancy their chances of adding to that total against a struggling Nottingham Forest side.
The visitors currently occupy one of the relegation places with just five points secured from a possible 21, but victory at Portman Road would take Oliver Glasner's team to within a point of the Tractor Boys.
However, that task isn't going to be an easy one as Ipswich have looked strong in their own backyard so far this season, winning three of their five home matches in league and cup, only being defeated by Liverpool and Arsenal.
Ipswich secured all three points from their last home game against Fulham, running out 2-1 winners, but needed two late goals to turn the game in their favour. Nottingham Forest have picked up four of their five points so far this season on the road, but head into Friday's clash on the back of three straight league defeats against Coventry, Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
We're predicting a home win in this game but do still expect there to be goals at both ends of the pitch. Ipswich haven't managed to keep a single clean sheet in league or cup this season, with both teams scoring in seven of their nine fixtures.
Forest have only managed to keep one clean sheet this season, and that arrived in their own backyard against Tottenham, but Glasner's side have scored in each of their three away games in the Premier League.
Ipswich 2-1 Nottingham Forest
