Forest and Sheffield United set for another frustrating outing

Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United - 02/11/2021

5556

On Tuesday night, Nottingham Forest host Sheffield United at the City Ground, as both teams attempt to move up the Championship table.

Nottingham Forest have had a mixed campaign in the Championship this season, as the Tricky Trees currently lie 18th place in the table.

Despite what looks like a relatively lowly position in the table, the team from the Midlands are just six points adrift of the play-off spots.

Steve Cooper’s team were in good form until a recent dip in form that saw them pick up just a point from their last two Championship matches against Fulham and QPR. A win here would likely shoot them up the nascent league standings.

One facet of Forest’s game that needs to improve if they are going to make a real fist of a play-off challenge is their form at the City ground, where the home team has won just one of their last ten matches in the Championship.

To make matters worse, Forest have lost seven of those recent ten home matches in the second tier.

Sheffield United are only above the home team by goals scored, as the two teams are level on points and goal difference.

Like the home side, the Blades are looking to mount a consistent run of form to make a run for those all-important play-off spots this season.

The visitors head into this potentially pivotal clash on a run of four defeats in their last six matches in the Championship.

Last time out, the Yorkshire outfit suffered a 1-0 home defeat against sixth-place Blackpool.

United have not been great travellers this season, as the Blades have won just two of their seven away matches in the English second tier.

Considering that there is very little between these two teams in the table, it is no surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will produce a high-scoring draw.
