Recent respective form guides

Nottingham Forest have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Forest in those games, with 5 conceded.

The away form of Wimbledon is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Dons have hit 4 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Nottm Forest's 17 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 4 points.
