📏 Form Guide

Huddersfield Town

DWLLLL 📉

Huddersfield won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Brentford.

In that match, Huddersfield Town managed 57% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Brentford had 23 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Josh Dasilva (58'), Marcus Forss (86') and Bryan Mbeumo (91') scored for Brentford.

Huddersfield Town have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 3 versus opposing sides over their previous 6 matches. In those games, The Terriers have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 10.

Nottingham Forest

DLLLLL 🔻

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Cardiff City in Championship action, Nottingham Forest will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Nottingham Forest managed 57% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Cardiff City had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Kieffer Moore (3', 40') scored for Cardiff City.

The numbers tell their own story, and Nottingham Forest have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 12 goals in total. At the back, The Reds could really do with shoring things up. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, of course.

Leading up to this clash, Nottingham Forest:

• have not won against Huddersfield Town when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 6 league matches.

💭 Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

A draw looks like a realistic possibility, but we’ll see what happens. Therefore, we predict a very close game with a 1-1 score draw when all is said and done.
