Nottingham Forest form and stats
There's been little loot from Nottingham Forest's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Championship. Nottingham Forest, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Championship, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. A depressing four 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 attacking players of Nottingham have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 466 minutes.
Nottingham Forest play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Reading (placed 3rd). A draw for Nottingham Forest before that, at their own venue hosting Watford (0-0).
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba had a great day against Reading, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Nottingham Forest when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing two and winning one game.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Brentford in just three days.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Nottingham Forest in these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
