Championship: Two sides in decent shape get together for this fixture. Huddersfield Town might have a wee advantage with their 6th position in the standings?
- Nottingham Forest have the fewest matches under the total-line (6) in Championship
- Huddersfield Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nottingham and Huddersfield Town.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Nottingham Forest at their home stadium (The City Ground) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at The City Ground.
No payout for Nottingham Forest in their previous match, an away game at Middlesbrough that ended in defeat 0-2. The attacking player Johnson was named "man of the match" for Nottingham with a rating of 7.43/10. Johnson hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Before that, Nottingham had a home game versus Hull City which ended with a victory 2-1.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Nottingham Forest handle that role? We have found ten games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, three draws and two defeats.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nottingham as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Barnsley are visiting.

For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
The visitors are W3-D4-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.
The supporters enjoyed Huddersfield's previous game versus Blackpool (placed 13th), a Championship 3-2 win played at home. Midfielder Thomas was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.35. Thomas scored two goals and hit one key pass.
Prior to that result Huddersfield won their away game at Bristol City. The scoreline was 3-2.Huddersfield Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Huddersfield manager Corberán Vallet as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Blackburn Rovers.
Huddersfield are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Huddersfield have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
