Nottingham Forest vs. Ipswich Town: Preview, team news, prediction for FA Cup match

Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town will clash at The City Ground on Monday, for the final match of the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Forest are slumping ahead of this match, having won just one of their last five Premier League games (with three losses during that stretch). However, they are still in third place in the standings, a testament to their overall form this season.

Meanwhile, Ipswich are within the relegation zone and have not won a match in the league since Dec 30. They seem destined to drop to the Championship, and thus could be motivated to salvage some success in this cup competition.

Nottingham Forest vs. Ipswich Town: What the managers are saying

Nuno Espirito Santo

(via BBC)

"Ipswich are a good team. They have energy. They have good players and they are very intense so the expectations are for a very tough match."

Kieran McKenna

(via BBC)

"We're looking forward to the game. A couple of earlier rounds have been a nice break from the league action. It's a nice change of focus and narrative and a nice progression for the group. It's a real challenge but a really good cup tie in a historic ground against a good Premier League side. A welcome distraction to be honest."

Nottingham Forest vs. Ipswich Town: Prediction

Overall history and recent form both favour Forest, who should come out of this match with a comfortable victory.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Ipswich Town
