Nottingham Forest, Recent FormThe Nottingham Forest players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Tottenham Hotspur managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Steve Cooper, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 5 goals scored. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 12 out of 13 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Reds, although undefeated in their last 9 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
When it comes to home matches at The City Ground, Brennan Johnson will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Nottingham Forest in their last 6 home games.
Newcastle United, Recent FormNewcastle United will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
Manager Eddie Howe will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Newcastle will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 12 away league games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Miguel Almirón has given the travelling Newcastle United support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Nottingham Forest who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Newcastle United.
The Magpies have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Forest.
Newcastle has a poor track record in the league when they visit Forest, losing in their last 2 games.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Taiwo Awoniyi (Groin), Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Willy Boly (Hamstring), Dean Henderson (Muscle), Cheikhou Kouyaté (Hamstring), Scott McKenna (Hamstring) and Omar Richards (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Emil Krafth (Ligament) and Fabian Schär (Head) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Eddie Howe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
