Nottingham Forest form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Nottingham's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Derby County game.
Nottingham Forest might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fulham proved too strong as Nottingham Forest slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at The City Ground. Nottingham lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Brennan Johnson, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.01. Johnson dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Bristol City with the score of 2-1.We have checked recent matches where Nottingham Forest have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were three victories, one draw and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Nottingham Forest are hosting Sheffield United in the Championship only four days away.
Nottingham are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 7 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Nottingham as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
