Nottingham Forest are heading into this match in pretty good shape. They have won two of their last five games and drawn two more, with their only recent loss being a close 3-2 defeat. That kind of form shows they’ve been hard to beat and are scoring goals, particularly in their big 5-0 win away from home. Hull City, meanwhile, are struggling. Their most recent results are from a long time ago, but in their last five games they lost three and only won once, which suggests they have been having a tough time.

There is no recent history between these two sides to look at, so the only guide we have is current form. Based on how solid Nottingham Forest have been lately and how much Hull City have been losing, this looks like a fairly open match. With Forest playing well and at home, and Hull coming in with poor results, Nottingham Forest should have the edge and are likely to win this game.
