Footymad preview History of the Bristol City v Nottingham Forest fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 14 of the 38 previous games, with the Robins winning just 9.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was just last season, in December 2011, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

None of the two sides are showing much worthwhile form at present, so the Madmen can look no further than a single point for the Robins. No-score draw
