Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City Prediction & Match Preview

• Bristol City are winless in six consecutive Championship games.
• Nottingham Forest looked great in the weekend’s 1-1 stalemate at Bournemouth.
• We only saw two shots on target combined by these two teams in the first leg at Ashton Gate.

Nottingham Forest earned a big point in the battle for avoiding relegation in the Premier League at the weekend. They held Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw on the road on Sunday afternoon. Callum Hudson-Odoi cancelled Justin Kluivert’s early opener.

The Reds offered a strong showing in general on the occasion. They limited Bournemouth to just two shots on target in the 90 minutes of play at Vitality Stadium. Nuno Espirito Santo can be thrilled with such a defensive showing. Bournemouth will have a nice chance for a clean sheet on Wednesday evening. They play host to Championship side Bristol City in the FA Cup fourth round replay at The City Ground.

We did not see much from either side in the first leg at Ashton Gate. Bristol City failed to register a single attempt on target on the occasion. The Robins have generally been struggling to get things going of late. They are winless in six subsequent games in the Championship.

Recent Meetings

• Nottingham Forest go into this on the back of two wins and a draw in the last three encounters with the Robins.
• Bristol City have scored only one goal in the previous four meetings with Nottingham Forest.
• Eight of the last ten H2H outings between these rivals ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City Prediction

Bristol City have found goals hard to come by of late. They failed to score in three of the last five Championship games. They’ve managed just one shot on target in the 0-1 home loss to Leeds on Friday night. Nottingham Forest limited Bournemouth to just two attempts on goal on Sunday afternoon at Vitality Stadium. They did not concede a shot on target in the first leg of this FA Cup tie either. We’ll take the home win pick at the 1.53 odds.

Only one of Bristol City’s last six Championship games produced three or more goals. We expect the Robins to sit tight at the back and wait for their chances from counter-attacks in this road clash against a higher-division opponent. In these circumstances, we like the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.00 odds.
