Nottingham Forest form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nottingham Forest so far with only 20 points returning home. The records show 3-11-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row. Recent form does not give Nottingham Forest much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sheffield United will be a tough nut to crack.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Blackburn Rovers with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-3 defeat away at Sheffield Wednesday before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Nottingham Forest are hosting Middlesbrough in the Championship only three days away.

Nottingham Forest find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 26 goals from 21 away fixtures. Nottingham Forest have conceded 31 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Nottingham Forest - Sheffield United 1-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 3 Sheffield United victories, 4 draws and 3 Nottingham Forest wins.
