On Wednesday night, Nottingham Forest host Stoke City at the City Ground, as the home team look to seal a play-off spot in the Championship.
The home team head into this clash needing a point to mathematically secure a top-six spot. The Tricky Trees are three points clear of seventh place Swansea City and have a superior goal difference of five.
A poor run of recent league form has proven fatal to Forest’s hopes of landing an automatic promotion spot. Sabri Lamouchi’s team have failed to win in their last five league games, including last time out when they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Barnsley.
Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous six matches.
Forest’s recent home form has put their play-off chances in danger, as the team from the Midlands have won just two of their previous seven league games on home soil.
After a poor campaign in the Championship, Stoke City have secured their status in the English second tier ahead of this final day of action. A three-game unbeaten run has proven vital in the visitors securing their spot in the Championship for next season.
A 1-0 home win over promotion-chasing Brentford last time out was a particularly impressive result for the Potters. The game saw the visitors keep a third clean sheet in their last five league matches, which is an improvement on their previous defensive displays.
One facet of Stoke that Michael O’Neill still has to work on is their away form, as the visitors have failed to win in eight Championship games on their travels. Stoke have also scored just three times in their last six away matches in the league.
Forebet predicts that Forest will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to book their place in the Championship play-offs.
