It's early days in the Championship and both Nottingham Forest and Bristol City are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

Nottingham Forest and Bristol City should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham Forest's first Championship home game here at The City Ground ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from 23 matches. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Nottingham to get some points in this home game.

T. Figueiredo was the last player to score a league goal for Nottingham Forest and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Nottingham haven't scored in 299 minutes.

Nottingham faced defeat in their previous match, away at Huddersfield Town (0-1). Preceding that match was a defeat to Cardiff City (0-2).

Brice Samba had a busy but productive day in the Huddersfield Town match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nottingham Forest perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nottingham Forest as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Nottingham Forest has won four of these, drawn three and lost eight.

Nottingham Forest has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Bristol City form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Championship, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 9 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats from 23 matches.

The manager D. Holden was unhappy after their last game, a Carabao Cup match played at their home ground Ashton Gate Stadium. Bristol suffered a 0-3 loss to Aston Villa. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Stoke City at their stadium, the result 2-0.

Bristol goalkeeper Max O'Leary had a great day against Aston Villa, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol City playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were five Bristol City wins, three draws and two defeats.

Bristol City have the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Nottingham, three draws and five wins for Bristol City. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
