Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest bounce back?
Nottingham Forest succumbed to a 2-1 defeat away from home at Coventry City in the opening game of the season in the Championship on the weekend, but the hosts return to their City Ground for this EFL 1st round clash against League Two side, Bradford City.
Results have been pretty ordinary in recent times for Forest who have managed to win just two of their last 10 matches in all competitions, which were both pre-season wins but the hosts finished last season’s Championship campaign without a win in their final six games.
Having also won just two of their last 11 matches at home in all competitions, it may be best to look at the goals markets, especially as five of the last eight meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score.
Bradford City Preview – Can Bantams spring a surprise?
Despite a poor finish to last season in League Two, with Bradford City failing to win any of their last seven games of the season (and losing six of these seven games), Bradford have produced a promising set of results in pre-season as the visitors have lost just one of their seven matches played.
Six wins, albeit in pre-season, should still give Bradford City a lift ahead of this 1st round tie away at Nottingham Forest, but away wins have been sporadic where The Bantams have been concerned as the visitors have won just five of their last 14 away games overall.
Goals look appealing though as nine of Bradford’s last 14 away games have also seen both teams score and the Yorkshire club stand a decent chance of at least scoring here.
