The Nottingham Forest & Swansea City managers S. Lamouchi and S. Cooper are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Championship league table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Nottingham Forest can neither be promoted or relegated from Championship. Swansea are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham Forest have collected 34 points from their Championship home games so far after 10-4-7.

Nottingham shared the glory with Preston North End in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Fulham (0-1).

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 13 games. Nottingham Forest has won five of these, drawn two and lost six.

The manager S. Lamouchi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barnsley in only four days.

Nottingham Forest has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 21 matches. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have conceded 21 goals.

Swansea City form and stats

As the visiting team in Championship matches, Swansea City have produced an overall stat of 7-10-4 so far.

Swansea's previous game was their home loss versus Leeds United (0-1). Preceding that game was the away victory against Birmingham City with the score of 3-1.

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

After this away game Swansea return home for a Championship game against Bristol City. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Swansea have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 21 league away games 29 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Swansea have seen the ball go into their own net 27 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Nottingham Forest and Swansea City have met before this season: Swansea City - Nottingham Forest 0-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Nottingham, three draws and two wins for Swansea City. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
