Forest to win
Coventry have not done too well in recent weeks; they have just one win in their last seven games, with three draws and three losses. In contrast, Nottingham Forest have enjoyed some good form recently; they are coming off a comfortable 4:1 win, and they've won four of their last five games. It's worth noting that Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last eight league games; they won five of those games, including their last three games. Furthermore, Coventry have struggled whenever they visit City Ground; they lost all of their last five trips to this stadium. All things considered, Nottingham Forest should be able to win this match.
Both teams to score
Coventry have not been very good defensively; they have no clean sheets in their last eight games, and they conceded in 13 of their last 14 games. Conversely, Coventry have scored their fair share of goals; they found the net in seven of their last nine games. Similarly, Nottingham Forest have not been able to keep the goals out; they have seen their defence breached in their last three, and five of their last six games. On the other hand, Forest scored in six of their last seven games. Both teams scored in six of Coventry's last eight, and in four of Nottingham Forest's last six games. Considering both teams scored in five of the last seven encounters between these teams, both teams should score.
