Resurgent Nottingham Forest will be aiming to maintain their promotion playoff push as they host Coventry City in a midweek Championship fixture. Coventry have struggled lately and should be no match for the superior quality of Forest.
Sitting just outside the playoff places, Coventry City have been piling on the pressure on the top six in recent weeks. They have won four of their last five Championship matches and claimed a 4-1 victory at Blackpool in their previous fixture with Brennan Johnson netting a brace.
The City Ground has been a fortress for Nottingham Forest and they have won five of their last six home matches. They came from behind to claim a 3-1 victory over QPR in their previous home fixture.
Driven by the likes of Ryan Yates and Brennan Johnson, the goals have flowed freely for Nottingham Forest in recent weeks. Steve Cooper’s men have scored three or more goals in their last three Championship matches.
Coventry City’s recent form has been in contrast to Nottingham Forest’s as they have won just once in their last seven matches. They are just outside the top half of the table but can climb as high as ninth if results go their way in midweek.
Mark Robins men were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Blackburn Rovers in their previous Championship fixture. They threw away an early lead and ultimately needed an injury time equaliser from Viktor Gyokeres to salvage a point.
One of the problems for Coventry City is a poor record on their travels as they have claimed just one win from their last four away matches. They have suffered defeats to Cardiff City and Swansea City in that run but will look to build on a 1-1 draw at Derby County in their previous fixture on the road.

Recent head to head

Players to watch
