Nottingham Forest v West Brom Preview and Prediction

Date/time: Tuesday 07^th August 2018 (Kick-off 7:45 PM, GMT)

On Tuesday night, Nottingham Forest and West Brom go head-to-head at the City Ground in the Championship.

Both sides failed to win on the opening weekend of the campaign, as Forest drew 1-1 with Bristol City and the visitors went down to a 2-1 defeat at the Hawthorns against Bolton Wanderers.

Forest started the season in an optimistic mood after a decent summer. However, the Tricky Trees have a lot of work to do to challenge for promotion this season.

The home side’s recent record of just two wins in their last 12 league outings is a poor one. One of the factors in that relatively poor record in the Championship is a lack of goals, as they have not scored in 15 of their previous 23 matches in the second tier.

Top Football Bookmakers

West Brom enjoyed a terrible return to the second tier suffering a defeat against one of the strugglers from last season’s Championship Bolton. The defeat ended an unbeaten run of 12 games for the Baggies in the second tier.

However, that good run means very little as the Midlander’s have not been in the second tier for eight years.

The visitors must improve their away record if they are to mount a promotion push, as the Baggies suffered defeat in five of their previous seven league games on their travels.

Prediction

Home win and/or under 2.5 goals
