Nottingham Forest to take another three points
Bristol City have had a decent run of form recently, they've won three of their last eight games; however, it's worth noting that those three wins were at home. As a matter of fact, all of Bristol City's last seven wins were at home; they've struggled to win games on the road this season. Bristol City have no wins in their last 10 away games across all competitions, and they lost eight of those 10 games. In contrast, Nottingham Forest have impressed at home recently; they have no losses in their last five home games, and they won four of those five games. It's even more impressive considering Nottingham Forest defeated Premier League teams like Arsenal and Leicester City in those five home games. With this in mind, Nottingham Forest should win this game.
A game loaded with goals
Of all professional football teams in England, Bristol City have the longest BTTS streak; they've both scored and conceded goals in all of their last nine games in all competitions. As a matter of fact, both teams scored in all of Bristol City's last 13 league games. Due to their tendency of scoring and conceding goals, Bristol City's games have mostly been high-scoring; all of Bristol City's last 13 league games went above the 2.5 goal mark. Similarly, Nottingham Forest have had their fair share of high-scoring games; as five of their last seven games went over 2.5. On that note, we should expect a few goals in this game.
