Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest make it four on the trot?
It looks like a timely return to form for Wednesday night’s hosts, Nottingham Forest, as Sabri Lamouchi’s side racked up a fourth win in five matches in the Championship on the weekend when they saw off lowly Luton Town 3-1 at home.
That win in Saturday’s evening match further consolidated Nottingham Forest’s position in the play-off pack in the second tier, as the Tricky Trees now sit in 5th place and hold a three-point cushion above 7th placed Millwall prior to these midweek fixtures.
The hosts had previously stuttered and stumbled through a worrying 5-match period which saw the east midlands outfit go without a single win which included defeats to Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town.
However, having won their last 3 home matches on the trot, Nottingham Forest look in good shape for further success here on Wednesday night.
Reading Preview – Can Reading bounce back immediately?
An encouraging and promising 7-match unbeaten run in the Championship came to an abrupt end in the shape of a 2-0 defeat away from home at Millwall at The Den on Saturday, and The Royals face another tough trip to face an in-form Nottingham Forest outfit this Wednesday night.
It’ll be an interesting test to see how resilient Mark Bowen’s side are following defeat for the first time in the Championship since mid-December in a sequence which included four wins and three draws.
Wins against Derby County, QPR, Preston North End and Fulham have helped lift Reading away from the immediate danger of relegation but there’s still a lot of work ahead of Reading, particularly away from home if they’re to secure absolute safety.
An away record of 4-5-5 15/14 has been helped by a recent 5-match unbeaten run prior to the Millwall match.
