Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham Forest have only collected 20 points from their away games after 3-11-8 (22 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

The supporters enjoyed Nottingham Forest's previous game versus Middlesbrough, a Championship 3-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sheffield United wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nottingham Forest playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 1 Nottingham Forest win, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

Nottingham Forest are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 26 away goals from 22 games. In the opposite end, Nottingham Forest have conceded 33 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Nottingham Forest - Queens Park Rangers 0-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Queens Park Rangers won 3, Nottingham Forest won 5 and 2 draws.
