Both Nottingham Forest and Hull City will be looking to extend their unbeaten runs when the face off at City Ground in an important Championship matchday 23 fixture on Saturday evening with kickoff at 18:00.
Nottingham Forest faced a tough start to the 2021/22 Championship campaign with club suffering four defeats in a row in their opening four matches while picking up just one points from their opening seven matches.
However, Nottingham have been on an impressive resurgent form with club losing just one of their last 15 matches picking up eight wins and five draws in the process. As a result Forest now occupies the eighth spot in the top half with just four points outside the playoff spots, which is a massive improvement for Steve Cooper’s side who a year ago were member 21 on 19 points in the standings.
They head into the clash in a good form having lost in none of their last eight matches and are coming off back-to-back victories over Peterborough and Swansea City, scoring six while conceding just one in the two. Nottingham will be looking to keep the momentum going as they bid for a playoff spot.
Meanwhile Hull City have also been in a resurgent form following a difficult start that saw them win just one of their opening 10 matches, picking up three draws while suffering six defeats in the run.
However, Hull have been on a resurgent recently as they have not lost in any of their last six matches claiming four wins and two draws in run, although, the tigers are coming off back-to-back draws against Reading and Bristol City. The unbeaten run has seen them climb four points clear of the relegation zone and currently sit in the 19th on 23 points with seven points off the top 10.
Grant McCann’s side will therefore be looking to post another positive result as they aim at extending their unbeaten run and keep climbing up the table.
