Season ticket holders at The City Ground haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Nottingham Forest languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Millwall will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Nottingham Forest has the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in Championship
- Millwall have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Championship. That game, against AFC Bournemouth, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Millwall.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Nottingham Forest have to build on here at The City Ground in the Championship.
The Nottingham supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Cardiff City in FA Cup and win 1-0. In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Preston North End with a 1-0 scoreline.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Nottingham Forest, as the Championship home game vs Middlesbrough is only four days away.

Millwall form and stats
Playing away, Millwall have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 3 defeats in the Championship this season.
Millwall has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to AFC Bournemouth for a Championship game that ended a draw (1-1). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Boreham Wood.
The draw against AFC Bournemouth came from a losing position. The Millwall manager G. Rowett brought on Matt Smith as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Millwall has another fixture away, a Championship game, against Huddersfield Town in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
