Nottingham Forest manager S. Lamouchi looking for three points in Hull City showdown

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 Forest and Hull City.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Overall Championship stats at home this season for Nottingham Forest are 3-1-1 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Nottingham Forest bring valid hopes of a third.

Nottingham Forest lost their last game at Wigan Athletic (placed 18th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Nottingham Forest won a home game hosting Brentford (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The manager G. McCann was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground City Ground. Hull City suffered a 2-3 loss to Queens Park Rangers (placed 5th). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Huddersfield Town's place.

A huge disappointment for Hull City in their last match (vs Queens Park Rangers). Leading 1-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-3 defeat.
