Nottingham vs Bristol City: Match Preview and Prediction
Nottingham vs Bristol City: Bristol City’s last six Championship games have ended in defeat. In the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth over the weekend, Nottingham Forest played admirably. In the first leg at Ashton Gate, we saw a combined total of just two shots on goal from these two teams.
In the struggle to stay in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest gained significant ground over the weekend. They managed to hold Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon away from home. Justin Kluivert missed his early opener due to Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Overall, the Reds gave a great performance for the occasion. Throughout the whole ninety minutes of play at Vitality Stadium, they only allowed Bournemouth to muster two shots on goal. Such a defensive performance should excite Nuno Espirito Santo. On Wednesday night, Bournemouth will have a good chance to keep a clean sheet.

In the first leg at Ashton Gate, we saw very little from either side. On that occasion, Bristol City could not manage to register even one attempt on goal. In general, the Robins have had difficulty getting things rolling lately. They have lost their last six championship games.
