Nottingham Forest form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nottingham Forest, who have the fewest points (4) away in Championship, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Nottingham in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Luton Town.

The supporters enjoyed Nottingham Forest's previous game versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 24th), a Championship 1-0 win played at home. A 1-3 loss hosting Brentford before that.
