Nottingham vs Manchester City – The last time Nottingham Forest played, they lost 2-0 to Fulham in the Premier League. They will be looking to do better here after that.
In that game, Nottingham Forest had 50% of the possession and made 10 attempts on goal, scoring none. Two of Fulham’s 16 shots on goal were on target. Fulham’s goals were scored by Willian (17′) and Manor Solomon (88′).
The quantity of results with a “nil” in them has become a recurring outcome in Nottingham Forest’s recent games. A wager on “both teams to score” would have lost in as many as five of their previous six matches combined prior to this one. Of course, that pattern won’t necessarily continue here.
