Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham was eliminated in the 4th round last season in the FA Cup.

7-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Nottingham Forest so far this season.

The home team returns to The City Ground after drawing with Sheffield United on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Midfielder Yates was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.71 (out of ten) in that game. Yates scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Nottingham Forest had a Championship home game versus Bristol City which ended with a victory 2-0.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Nottingham handle that role? We have found eleven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are six wins, two draws and three defeats.

Nottingham Forest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 17 games. 20 goals have been conceded.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

Huddersfield's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.

Playing away, Huddersfield Town have won 7 games, drawn 6 and suffered 5 defeats in the Championship this season.

The Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Jamal Blackman is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 209 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Sinani and Lees (2) scored in Huddersfield Town's previous match, the home game against Peterborough United that ended 3-0. Defender Lees was the best team player with a rating of 9.65. Lees scored two goals and won 11 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Birmingham City at their stadium, the result 2-0.

We have checked recent matches where Huddersfield Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were five victories, two draws and five defeats.

Huddersfield have another game that requires travelling in just four nights, a Championship match versus West Bromwich Albion. A rough diary for the visitors!

Huddersfield Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 18 league away games 22 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Huddersfield have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two sides are: three wins for Nottingham Forest, one draw and six wins for Huddersfield Town. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
