England – Championship
Date: Monday, 18 April 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: City Ground.
Currently on a 5-game winning streak, Nottingham Forest hopes to extend that lead as they meet the mid-table side West Bromwich Albion. The two are set to face each other at City Ground, this Monday.
The Reds are at the 4th spot on the standing with 67 points from 39 games. They won 19 times in the league while drawing and losing 10 matches each. They are second in the line for Play Offs and with their good run of form, they seek to climb onto the top two spots. The hosts have one of the best attacking front in the league.
Nottingham Forest will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-0 Championship triumph against Birmingham City. It’s possible we will see a couple of goals here, with the last 7 games for them ended with 2 goals or more being scored. They have also kept 3 clean sheets in the last 5 games, conceding 2 goals during the period.
On the other hand, West Brom resides at the 12th position on the table with 57 points. Of the 41 matches played, they won 15 games while drawing a dozen and losing on 14 other occasions. They had fired blanks in 16 games this season and that is 39% of games where they have not been able to find the back of the net. They are not at all consistent in the league, winning and losing in a zigzag fashion.
WestBrom lost the last game by 1-3 at the hands of Stoke City. During their 6 most recent matches, Steve Bruce’s men have netted 8 times therefore giving them a goals scored per game average of 1.33.
West Bromwich Albion lost thrice of their last 5 away fixtures but have won four of their last five away league games against Nottingham.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest is in great form at home where they are currently unbeaten in 8 games. They are also unbeaten in the last 5 games coming into this fixture against West Bromwich.
Hence, The Reds enter here as the clear favorites to win.
