Nottingham Forest hosts Wigan Athletic in round 25 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Sunday, December 29th at City Ground (Nottingham)
The hosts are in bad shape. Nottingham managed to concede three goals per half from Wednesday at home, and I can say the team plays better away. Where did the confident game of October disappear? The Foresters managed not only to win but also not to concede then. When Nottingham has to play attack first, it often confuses and doesn’t know what to do with the ball. The Foresters don’t score a lot, but they act reliably in defense. Nevertheless, it is a slightly different case now, and they need to play against weak Wigan from a position of strength.

Only four points scored on the road and still not a single victory. Wigan earned points only at home. The team lowered to the relegation zone, and it probably will not get out of it until the end of the tournament, unless the management purchases someone in the attack zone. The Latics have very serious problems with this line, although they seemed to score consistently in recent games. But this does not prevent them from alternating draws and defeats. Wigan gained the last victory far in October... just over Nottingham. Will the Latics manage to gain the first away victory? I doubt it very much. They must think about how not to lose to their angry rivals.
I will agree with the coefficients of bookmakers. Nottingham, with all its problems and unsuccessful game at home, is the favorite of the match. First, you need to proceed not even from the Foresters but from the modest game of Paul Cook's team, which is simply helpless in away rounds. And nobody canceled the revenge. Currently, the hosts look stronger and should not have problems with an outsider.
Prediction for the match: Nottingham to win
