Nottingham Forest Preview – Can the Reds stretch unbeaten run to five?
Nottingham Forest head into this one unbeaten in four. Since a 2-0 home loss to champions elect Norwich City in mid-March, the Reds have beaten Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers and drawn with Brentford and Bristol City.
Nottingham Forest made a woeful start to their season under Sabri Lamouchi, who almost took the Midlands club to the play-offs last term. However, they have looked far more solid since Chris Hughton’s arrival. In fact, the Reds have lost just five times in the Championship since the turn of the year.
Nottingham Forest are in no danger of going down, but Hughton will want his side to finish off the season in strong style. Can they continue their good form by taking maximum points from this one?
Huddersfield Town Preview – Another bad away day for the Terriers?
Huddersfield Town are far from safe and dry just yet. It has been a real struggle for Carlos Corberan, who left Leeds United’s youth setup to take over at the John Smith’s Stadium at the start of this season.
Overall, the Terriers have picked up 11 league wins, drawn 11 times and lost 19 of 41 matches. They have shipped 62 goals along the way, with only bottom side Wycombe Wanderers letting in more up until now.

Corberan’s troops have struggled away from home all season, winning only once on the road since October and three times overall. They head to the City Ground as the 3/1 underdogs.
Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Town Betting Advice
When these two clubs squared off at the John Smith’s Stadium last September, Huddersfield edged a tight contest on home soil. Fraizer Campbell’s goal shortly after half time did the damage in that one.
There is usually a winner in this fixture, with only one of the previous 13 meetings ending in a draw.
Key Facts – Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Town Betting Tip
- Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in four (two wins, two draws)
- Huddersfield have picked up just one away win since October
- The Terriers have won only one of their past ten
With Nottingham Forest in good form of late, while Huddersfield have won just one league game in ten, the hosts will be looking for a routine home victory on Saturday. The Reds eased to a 3-1 win over QPR in their previous home game, and we like the look of Forest to win -1 again at 3/1.
Young James Garner has made a big impression at the City Ground while on loan from Manchester United this season. 20-year-old Garner has scored three goals in 2021, including two in his last three outings. You can get 15/2 for the midfielder to net anytime in this one.
