A couple of years ago, Nottingham Forest had achieved remarkable home-field advantage at the City Ground. For whatever reason, the "Tricky Trees" gradually lost their home form. That's precisely why they brought in Oliver Glasner, Forest's new manager, who, after a slow start, finally made his first statement by defeating Aston Villa in Birmingham with goals from Delap and Igor Jesus.
This is the perfect opportunity for Nottingham to rediscover the feeling of winning convincingly at the City Ground, as they face Coventry City on Saturday. Forest have only lost one of their previous nine Premier League matches against newly promoted clubs.
Coventry City, led by Frank Lampard last season, achieved the feat of returning to the top flight. But in their first Premier League season since 2000, they're having a terrible time: they lost to Arsenal, Hull City, Manchester City, and Brighton without scoring a single goal, and their disappointment continued in the EFL Cup, where Aston Villa beat them 3-1 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, knocking them out of the competition.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City Prediction
The odds for Saturday's match favor Nottingham Forest, and these odds continue to improve as the day progresses. Coventry appear to be sealing their fate far too early: only one of the last seven newly promoted sides who lost their first four Premier League matches managed to avoid relegation.
The potent attacking trio of Gibbs-White, Ndoye, and striker Delap played a key role in their victory over Aston Villa. Coventry could very well suffer the same fate, especially given that the Sky Blues recently conceded five goals at home to Brighton.
Our prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Coventry is: Nottingham Forest to win.
