Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Nothing seems to be going right for Nottingham Forest so far, and they host Bristol City in the fourth week of the Championship hoping to collect their first points. Bristol City have managed wins in all three of their league matches so far, which places them second in the standings as Nottingham are only above the drop zone on goal difference. Nottingham closed last season on a low, but it has been even worse this season, with the team going winless in their opening four matches, and failing to score a goal in the process. Their campaign started with a loss in the first round of the Carabao Cup and they have gone on to lose to QPR, Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town in the Championship. This run leaves them winless in 10 straight games and they are the early favorites for relegation. Their winless run at home stands at four matches and with three wins in their last 11 home games, it doesn’t look too promising for them. A positive they will want to look back at with hope, however, is the fact that last season they didn’t lose to Bristol; they won one and drew the other while keeping clean sheets in the two games. As much as they have not won this season, they have also not conceded a lot. None of their last four matches has hit over 2.5 goals and likewise, none of their last five meetings with Bristol City has produced over 2.5 goals.
Bristol City on the other hand have managed four wins in the five matches they have played this season. Their journey in the Carabao Cup was cut short by Aston Villa but they recovered to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their most recent game. That loss to Villa was the only time in their five matches this season that Bristol failed to score. They have scored two or more goals in four of their five matches so far. Meanwhile, they have three clean sheets in the last four matches and will be hoping they can extend the same in this clash. Bristol City won nine of their 23 away matches in the Championship last season and will be looking to do better in this campaign; they have already won their first away match this season and looking at Nottingham’s home form, the away side will be favorites here. In three of Nottingham’s four matches this season, they have gone to the break level but conceded in the second half, and Bristol have shown good form in the second half of their matches, scoring seven times in the second half in their last five matches.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City Prediction
Nottingham Forest carry a poor run to this game and face a Bristol City side in top form. The away side has scored in four of its five matches this season and in each of these they have scored at least twice. They have three clean sheets too, pointing to good organization in defence. The home team on its part, is yet to score, nor register a point this season. Forest have conceded in each of their matches and have not been at their best at home. The hosts have not won in 10 matches and have just three wins in 11 home matches. This could affect them mentally heading to this game but looking at all aspects, we are backing Bristol for a 2-0 win here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
