On Friday night, Nottingham Forest and Millwall will put their Championship promotion credentials to the test as the two teams meet at the City Ground.
The home side are fourth in the table, nine points behind Leeds United, who occupy the second automatic promotion spot in the Championship. A recent inconsistent run of form has hindered the Tricky Trees bid for automatic promotion.
A 2-2 draw at struggling Middlesbrough last time out means that Forest have now won just once in their last five league outings. Sabri Lamouchi’s team are unbeaten in four league matches. However, three of those games have finished all-square.
The home sides recent Championship matches have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine matches.
An inconsistent recent record at the City Ground has not helped Forest’s promotion hopes, as the team from the Midlands have won one of their last four league matches on home soil.
Their recent home games in the Championship have been like their recent league matches in general in a sense that they have been low-scoring affairs, as under 2.5 goals have been scored in their last four league matches on home soil.
Millwall needs to start winning and quick if they are to move back into the play-off spots. The Lions are currently tenth and five points outside the top-six in the Championship.
Like the hosts, a recent poor run of league form has hampered their chances of achieving their objectives this season. In fact, a 1-1 draw against Bristol City last time out means that the Lions have won just one of their last eight matches in the Championship. The visitors away record is not great of late either, as they have won just once in six matches on their travels.
With neither side in form, it is of little surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low-scoring draw.
