Nottingham Forrest hosts West Bromwich in round 1 of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, August 3rd at Finn Park (Ballybofey)
In the last draw, Nottingham entered the top ten clubs of Championship. It is a good result for the club, from which the team will push in this championship. Nottingham gained confidence in its abilities and realized that it is obliged to fight for high places in each subsequent championship. 17 wins, 15 draws and 14 losses, as well as good goal statistics (61/54), showed the club a movement vector. It played a lot at the preparatory stage - seven matches. Nottingham lost only once, and the remaining six matches divided into three victories and three draws. The Reds were looking for a balance between attack and reliable defense. I think they found it.

West Bromwich held a great last season, taking 4th place in the standings, but it was completely unprepared for the playoff matches. The club relegated from Aston Villa in the semifinals, losing 2:3 on average. It is natural to assume that West Bromwich is unlikely to agree to less in the upcoming season. The club has a reliable and well-played squad, which is potentially ready to fight for a direct ticket to the elite. The task number one is to tighten the game in defense. A season earlier, it was a large number of lost meetings that caused the failure. At the preparation stage, the team played four matches, where, in my opinion, it did not demonstrate anything. West Brom lost to Villarreal - 0: 3 and won Scunthorpe - 4: 0. Two last games recorded a draw.
Nottingham has a slight advantage due to the greater number of matches played. The tone of the Foresters is higher, and since the rivals were worthy and not representatives of the basement leagues, I think the club is ready to meet a serious opponent. In the last championship, these teams tied two times, playing 1:1 and 2:2. A streak of draws may continue, but I am waiting for the exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes
