Bristol City vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips &— BTTS

Both teams enter this match battling for form in their respective leagues. Currently, Bristol City is positioned 13th in the Championship and hasn’t secured a victory in their last four league games, following a 1:1 draw with Watford the previous weekend. However, the Robins did manage to earn their spot in the FA Cup fourth round with an impressive win against West Ham two weeks ago.

Similarly, Nottingham Forest has been having a challenging time in this season’s Premier League, but there are signs of progress under the leadership of their new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo. The Tricky Trees managed to gain only one point in seven league games before recent wins against Newcastle and Manchester United. However, Forest failed to secure a third consecutive victory due to a disappointing 3:2 defeat at Brentford last weekend.

When Forest plays, it’s typically safe to anticipate goals. In their last eight games, both teams have scored seven times, and each of their last six games has seen a minimum of three goals. The Tricky Trees also clinched their spot in the fourth round of this tournament with a thrilling 3:2 victory over Blackpool.

I anticipate an exciting and competitive match, with Bristol expected to give a tough fight on their home ground. I am confident that both teams will score.

I´m backing BTTS in a game where I can’t pick a winner. Both teams will fancy their chances of progressing to the next round, but don´t be surprised if this tie needs a replay to find a decisive outcome.
