Cardiff City Preview – Can Cardiff continue resurgence?
It’s been a remarkable turnaround in Cardiff City’s fortunes since the arrival of manager, Mick McCarthy, as The Bluebirds are now making a serious challenge for a play-off spot and signed off with a local derby 1-0 win away from home against Welsh rivals Swansea City just before the international break.
Cardiff City have now lost just once in their last 14 matches overall which was a 2-1 loss at home to 2nd placed Watford but having also lost just one of their last six matches at home, the hosts will be confident that they can take the spoils here.
In addition, Cardiff have lost just one of their last six meetings at home against Nottingham Forest and having seen off the likes of Coventry City, Preston NE and Derby County, the hosts will be raring to go this Friday.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest end poor run?
Nottingham Forest’s run of matches without a win in the Championship was extended to six games following a 1-1 draw away at Brentford before the break but although it was a sold point on the road in London, Forest have now dropped down to 17th place.
Recent losses against Luton Town, Watford and Norwich City have dealt Forest’s outside chances of a possible assault on the play-off pack in the Championship a serious blow and the east midlands club now trail 6th placed reading by a 20-point margin.
The visitors will now be concentrating their efforts to remain away from the relegation zone but defeat in Wales on Saturday could just turn the pressure up a little more on Chris Hughton’s side.
