Ipswich are yet to keep a clean sheet in all competitions this season
Town have mixed three wins and three losses in their last six league games
Nottm Forest's only league win this season was a 2-1 success at Aston Villa
Ipswich are doing well on their return to the Premier League with nine points on the board after seven games and they will see Friday night's visit from Nottingham Forest as a golden opportunity to add three more to their tally.
The Tractor Boys have beaten Sunderland and Fulham at home, though they will be wary of a Forest side who are in the bottom three but were not disgraced in defeat to Arsenal last Sunday.

Team News
Ipswich's experienced Serbian midfielder Sasa Lukic missed his side's 3-2 loss at Manchester City with a groin problem, but manager Gary O'Neil is confident he will be fit for Friday night.
Forest striker Igor Jesus is set to miss out, but Oliver Glasner is poised for a double boost. Star playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White and giant defender Nikola Milenkovic, who both missed the 1-0 loss to Arsenal, are expected to have shaken off knocks.
Need to know
Ipswich gave Man City a headache or two last weekend before going down 3-2 and that means they have yet to keep a clean sheet in any game this season, which is something to concern boss O'Neil.
Forest were not disgraced in their 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday and gave as good as they got, bossing the shot count 14-9. They are creating chances, but sooner rather than later they need to start taking some.
Prediction
Forest have only scored five goals this term and it is Gibbs-White who has been the architect of the majority of those with one goal and two assists.
It is worth noting and supporting the idea that Forest under Glasner are better suited to playing away - they rack up far more shots on their travels than at the City Ground - 15.5 shots per home game, 19.3 per away match.
Forest do have shots but not necessarily corners, they average just 4.7 per away game. That is still higher than Ipswich, who average only three corners per league game at Portman Road.
