In the Premier League, Nottingham Forest is struggling to stay in the game. Their last outing was a 1-1 draw away at AFC Bournemouth.
Bristol City’s most recent Championship match ended in a 1-0 loss at home against Leeds United. In the table, the Robins are presently ranked fourteenth.
The team led by Liam Manning defeated West Ham 1-0 in the FA Cup final round. They then forced a 0-0 draw with Forest to secure a rematch at the City Ground.
Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the match…
Harry Mail
“Bristol City have been in poor form over recent times. They are winless in their last five games in all competitions and have won only one in their last nine outings.
“The Robins are lacking a cutting edge going forward. Nakhi Wells doesn’t have the pace he used to, and Scott Twine is currently out injured.
“Nottingham Forest’s focus will be on the Premier League but they will believe they have a good opportunity to have a cup run. A home tie against Manchester United awaits the winner.”
Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City prediction: 2-1
James Ray
You have to think the Premier League quality shines through here. Yes, the City Ground hasn’t been the fortress it has been previously, but Bristol City are in poor form and Nottingham Forest should have more than enough to progress.
The Robins have turned it on against stern opponents in the cup this season but I just can’t see them getting a win here, not in their recent form. They’ve been unconvincing at best and Forest have shown how dangerous they can be on their day.
“Don’t rule out a result for the visitors, but I will be backing Forest to emerge victorious.”
Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City prediction: 2-0
