After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Nottingham Forest and Rotherham United in this fresh Championship season. Read our match preview!
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 Rotherham United.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
Nottingham Forest have less points than they have played home games in the Championship so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. The Nottingham manager S. Lamouchi might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Happy days for Nottingham in their previous game, a Championship match away at Blackburn Rovers (placed 9th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Nottingham lost 1-2 at home to Bristol City.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Nottingham handle that role? We have found 13 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are seven wins, two draws and four defeats.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nottingham Forest as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Derby County are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nottingham Forest at home in the league. 1 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Rotherham United form and stats
Rotherham United are still undefeated on their travels in the Championship. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Home advantage was not enough for Rotherham in their previous game, as they lost their Championship-match, hosting Norwich City, 1-2. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Huddersfield Town.
It's a bit worrying for Rotherham that their goalkeeper Jamal Blackman made six saves in the Norwich City game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Rotherham in the Norwich City match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
Rotherham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.
The schedule is very tough for Rotherham now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Reading is waiting in only four days.
2 goals so far away for Rotherham United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
