Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest ensure safety?
A late, late equaliser away at St Andrews during the week earned Nottingham Forest what could prove to be a vital point in a 1-1 draw but although they hold an 11-point cushion over third from bottom Rotherham United, The Millers still have two games in hand over Chris Hughton’s side.
Forest will therefore be taking nothing for granted until they’ve ensured Championship safety, especially as Forest have won just two of their last 11 matches overall, but they return to the City Ground for this clash against Stoke City on Saturday.
Results at home though have also been indifferent of late as the hosts have registered just two wins from their last nine matches, while three of these have also ended in stalemate and five of the last 10 meetings against Stoke have also ended in draws.
Stoke City Preview – Can Potters improve?
Stoke City have dropped down to a disappointing 13th place in the Championship following a dismal run of four matches without a win in the second tier, losing three of these last four games with defeats against Millwall, Birmingham City and Coventry City.
Indeed, The Potters have picked up just the one point from their last 12 points on offer thanks to a 0-0 draw at home with Preston NE while the bigger picture shows that Stoke have won just three of their last 12 matches overall.
The Potters have also managed just one win from their last 13 matches on their travels, drawing seven of these 13 games.
