Prediction published on January 28, 2022 at 1:29 PM - Modified on January 28, 2022 at 2:29 PM
Cardiff welcomes Nottingham Forest to the Cardiff City Stadium for this Matchday 29 encounter in the Championship. The home team are in 20th position with 23 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 43 points. Cardiff has played 26 matches while Forest has played 28 matches. The home team are just three points above the relegation zone and a loss could see them slide into the dreaded drop zone. Cardiff are on a terrible run of form in the league and are without a win in their last six matches. Their last league victory was against Luton in November. Cardiff have won 11 of their last 14 league matches against Forest but have lost their last two home matches against them. The away team has won the last five matches in this fixture.
Nottingham are on a great run of results that has seen them win their last four matches across all competitions. The undoubted highlight during this run has been their defeat of Arsenal in the FA Cup. They have built on that win and won their next three league matches. Forest had successive league losses in December and that remains their only losses in their last 15 matches across all competitions. Since manager Steve Cooper took over in September, Forest have managed to gain 39 points. Their points tally during this period is only surpassed by Fulham who have gained 41 points. They have only lost once in their last 11 away matches.
