The visiting Watford side should be favourites in this visit to Nottingham Forest, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
- Nottingham Forest have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Watford have scored more than double the goals of Nottingham Forest.
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 form and stats
Nottingham Forest have played 7 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Nottingham to get some points in this home game.
Stress levels are on the rise for Nottingham's attacking players as they have now played 286 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Taylor was their last goal scorer.
The Nottingham fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at The City Ground: A 0-1 defeat against Swansea City (placed 4th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at AFC Bournemouth.
The manager C. Hughton will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Reading in only three days.
Nottingham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Nottingham have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Watford form and stats

The supporters enjoyed Watford's previous game versus Preston North End (placed 18th), a Championship 4-1 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Bristol City that ended 0-0.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cardiff City in just three days.
Goals are few and far between in Watford's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. Watford are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
