Forest and Swansea to draw in a vital Championship clash
2134

On Wednesday evening, promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest and Swansea City meet in the Championship, in a game that could be massive.

With automatic promotion now out of reach, Nottingham Faorest now must concentrate on sealing a play-off spot this season. A three-game winless run in the second tier proved fatal to the Tricky Trees chances of automatic promotion.

However, those three games were against teams around them against Preston, Fulham and Derby. Despite that recent unconvincing recent run of results, Forest have lost just once in their previous six league matches.

The team from the Midlands have been involved in several low-scoring games of late in the Championship, as five of their last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

A highly inconsistent recent run of league form on home soil in the second tier has cost Forest the chance of going up automatically. The home team has won just two of their last six matches at the City Ground in the Championship, having suffered three defeats in the process.

Swansea are a point outside the play-off berths, while the Welsh side also trails the home team by six points in the race for those potentially lucrative top-six spots.

A recent inconsistent run of form in the second tier of late has put their play-off hopes in doubts, as Steve Cooper’s side have won just three of their last nine matches in the Championship. Last time out in the second tier, the Swans suffered a 1-0 home defeat against promotion-bound Leeds United.

The Welsh team are unbeaten in their last four away games in the Championship, having recorded two wins and two draws. The visitors have been relatively prolific in front of goal away from home of late, as they have scored two or more goals in four of their previous six league matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that this clash will end in a low-scoring draw, which could be damaging to the visitor’s chances of landing a play-off spot.
