Nottingham Forest vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by James | in Championship Predictions
Two clubs near the bottom of the Championship duke it out on Boxing Day when Nottingham Forest welcome Birmingham to the City Ground. The hosts are 20th in the table with 17 points from 20 games, leaving them one point clear of the relegation zone. Birmingham, meanwhile, are five points ahead of Forest in 17th place. The Brummies come into this game in woeful form after losing their last three matches, the most recent being a 4-1 home thumping by Middlesbrough. Birmingham have found more joy on the road in recent weeks. Before their 3-2 defeat at Cardiff, Birmingham were unbeaten in six away league matches. Only two teams in the division were in better away form during that time. Attacking isn't Birmingham's strongest suit, so keep the score low is their best strategy for taking points home. It goes some way to explaining why 13 of their last 16 away matches in all competitions featured fewer than three goals.
Forest drew their last fixture away to Millwall, the second successive result where they avoided defeat. Chris Hughton had a massive job on his hands when Forest appointed him as their manager in October. Yet recent developments give reasons to be hopeful. He halted a seven-match winless run, and now they can extend their undefeated streak at home to Birmingham. Three wins from their last six home games suggest that Forest - who are unbeaten in their past five home games against Birmingham - can survive on the back of form at the City Ground. We suggest betting on Forest to beat Birmingham.
