Nottingham Forest will look to extend a 25-year-old streak when they square off against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have put together a strong start to the campaign, sitting in seventh position in the Premier League table after 12 matches.
However, on the back of a three-game winning run, the East Midlands outfit have since suffered successive defeats to Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively.
Once holding the standout second-best defensive record in the division, Forest have now conceded six goals in two games, upping the stakes ahead of welcoming Ipswich to the City Ground.
Nevertheless, from a historical perspective at least, Forest can take confidence from how they have dealt with the Tractor Boys on their home patch.
City Ground dominance
Premier League fixtures between these sides are in short supply, the 1994-95 campaign representing the last time that each club were in the top flight.
In all competitions, though, you have to go back to December 1999 for the last time that Ipswich registered a win at the City Ground.
Since Matt Holland earned Ipswich a 1-0 win in Division One, Forest have recorded eight victories and six draws on familiar territory.
A further stat in Forest's favour is their record against newly-promoted teams. They have put together an eight-game unbeaten run in such contests.
Meanwhile, leading marksman Chris Wood is attempting to become Forest's all-time top goalscorer in the Premier League, the New Zealand international currently just one short of Bryan Roy.
Contrasting starts
Forest have incredibly taken the lead in 10 of their 12 matches this season, the disappointment coming from only converting those leads into five wins.
In sharp contrast, Kieran McKenna's side have been ahead for just 143 minutes across the same amount of encounters, the lowest in the league.
Although there are 11 places separating the teams in the standings, Ipswich can move to within seven points of their seventh-placed opponents with success on Saturday.
