Nottingham vs Bristol City Match Preview

Nottingham Forest took a significant 3-1 victory against Huddersfield on Sunday. After this outcome, they kept a top-6 place at the standings and it is quite possible at the end of the regular season to be among the teams that will claim one promotion to the next season's Premier League through the playoffs. 

No missing, injuries or suspensions are reported for Nottingham. S. Lamouchi has the opportunity to line up his best eleven, however, I don't rule out the possibility of making a couple of changes to freshen his squad.

Bristol City suffered a second consecutive defeat after the break, losing 1-2 to Sheffield Wednesday at home This was their 7th consecutive game without a win for L. Johnson's team. Now their hopes for participation in the promotion playoffs are slim, since there are only 7 rounds remaining and they have to left behind them 6 teams to reach a top-6 spot.

The guests will line up without any significant problems, since the return of midfielder A. Nagy in their last outing.

The motivation is clearly bigger for the hosts here, who want all three points to hold their playoff spot. Despite the fact that they will play at City Ground behind closed doors, recent Bristol City's performances are so poor that does not seem possible to cause any problems against Forest here. Home side to win is my call.
