The defense is the mainstay of Nottingham

Pre-match review Ipswich Town vs Nottingham

Before entering this season, no one thought Nottingham could play so well and effectively. With a playing style that prioritizes pragmatism and efficiency, Nottingham, a team that had to fight for relegation in previous seasons, has made a strong breakthrough this year to enter the group to compete in the European Cup 1 next season.

The foundation for their success is a solid defense. Nottingham has only conceded 33 goals, less than Liverpool and Arsenal. Although the attack is quite modest with 45 times scoring goals, 9 teams less, but thanks to the defense, Nottingham is in a high position with 3rd place in the rankings.

Not flashy, not possessing a strong squad, but Nottingham is even ranked higher than Chelsea, MU, Tottenham and Man City, who once formed the infamous quartet.

Nottingham even has a chance to take second place. The gap between the two teams is only 4 points while the Gunners are in decline, having only won 2 out of 9 points in the last 3 matches.

Form, head to head history Ipswich Town vs Nottingham

There have been some wobbles at Nottingham as they have gone three games without a win, picking up just one point. However, a win over Man City in the last round has helped them regain confidence and stability. It was not a lucky win as the best chances all belonged to Nottingham.

This team played a very scientific game, making the opponent's combination moves seem to hit the wall. Meanwhile, sharp attacks continuously helped Nottingham warn the defending champion and in the final minutes, Hudson-Odoi scored the only goal of the match to bring 3 points for Nottingham .

Those 3 points helped them get back on track after their falls. Today, the team's mission is to continue to break away to win against the relegated team Ipswich.

Nottingham's chances of winning are very high if we know that Ipswich have really given up recently. Home ground is no longer a stronghold for Ipswich when the team has lost all 4 recent matches, receiving 14 goals with an average of more than 3 goals per match.

Recent defeats such as 0-6 against Man City , 1-4 against Tottenham have reflected the fact that after a long period of struggling, they have exhausted their vitality in the relegation battle. Ipswich's force is very modest with many unknown players. It makes them 6 points behind the safe group. Today, it is difficult to believe that this team will change the situation.
