Cardiff and Forest set for a draw
2463

On Tuesday night, Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium, in a game that could prove massive in the race for promotion to the Premier League.

Cardiff have dropped to tenth place in the Championship table after a highly inconsistent run of form in the English second tier. In fact, the Bluebirds are now six points outside the play-off spots.

A 2-0 defeat against Stoke last time out means that the team from the Welsh capital have picked up just a point from their last two Championship matches. A record of three wins from their last nine league matches is not one of a team heading for promotion either.

The home sides recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games in the second tier.

Cardiff are unbeaten on home soil in the Championship in eight matches. The problem is that six of those eight matches have finished all square.

The Welsh team has a good recent record in meetings with Forest, as they are unbeaten in ten meetings with the Tricky Trees, having recorded nine victories in the process.

Nottingham Forest were right in the thick of the fight for automatic promotion a few weeks ago. However, the visitors are now six points off the top-two, even if they are still in the play-off spots.

A run of just one win in the last five top-flight matches in the Championship has been the main reason for Forest falling behind in the race for automatic promotion. A goalless draw at QPR in their last league match means that Forest have now failed to win in their last three Championship games.

Forebet predicts that this game will end in a draw, which will do neither team’s hopes of winning promotion much good.
