Preview
Nottingham Forest and Brentford face at The City Ground, in a match for the 18th round of the Championship. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 3 and lost 2. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Championship, on 05‑10‑2019, Nottingham Forest won by (1‑0). B. Watson (56' ) scored the only goal of the match. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Nottm Forest

The home team is currently in the 21th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Reading, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Norwich City, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 19 conceded.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 17 matches for the Championship, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Nottingham Forest arrive for this game after a 2-1 defeat at Norwich, thus registering the fifth defeat in the last six games in this second English division: the only goal of the team was signed by Anthony Knockaert. Now, on this game at home, coach Chris Hughton should assist a more direct playing style and with successive counterattacks by the aisles. Lyle Taylor is the great scorer of this team of Nottingham Forest, with 4 goals. For this game the home team cannot count on Ryan Yates, suspended, as well as Gaetan Bong, Jack Colback and Luke Freeman, these with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Brice Samba, Joe Worrall, Cyrus Christie, Yuri Ribeiro, Tobias Figueiredo, Cafú, Joe Lolley, Ryan Yates, Harry Arter, Sammy Ameobi, Lyle Taylor.
Coach: N. Simões Espírito Santo.

This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 5 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 15 conceded.
