Peterborough vs. Nott’m Forest – Nottingham Forest welcome Peterborough United to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break a run of five draws in six Championship games.
Peterborough head to the City Ground four points short of safety at a time when Forest are in 16th place.
Despite their team’s recent six-match unbeaten run, Forest supporters are dissatisfied since five of those games have ended in low-scoring draws.
While a goalless draw at West Bromwich Albion last time out could be viewed as a positive, the outcome was a continuation of constantly poor efforts in the final third.
Although Steve Cooper will refer to the fact that his team has only conceded three times in six games as grounds for optimism, they have reached a point where they sorely need a win to swing the tide in their favour.
Cooper has little choice but to throw caution to the wind at the weekend after 266 minutes have passed since Philip Zinckernagel’s early effort against Reading.
Despite having the third-worst home record in the division, Forest has eight points and only one defeat in their past six games at the City Ground.
Peterborough have recently given Darren Ferguson a long-term deal, indicating that they want to keep him as manager regardless of their season’s outcome.
Peterborough vs. Nott’m Forest – Betting Analysis
Posh, on the other hand, are on a six-match losing skid and have gone 366 minutes without scoring in the second tier.
Even a point against relegation rivals Barnsley at home last weekend could not be considered a plus, and the pressure is mounting as they try to keep pace with the clubs above them.
Peterborough have lost three consecutive away games since a potentially critical 2-1 win at Hull City on October 20, failing to score and conceding nine goals.
They’ve now struck out 28 times in ten games on the road, eight more than any other team in the division.
