Southampton have obviously been the weakest team on the road this season and they hardly ever won against anyone. Nottingham Forest are not a significantly better team but they have had almost all of their good performances at home this season. They recently got a win over Brighton with 3-1 and we expect a similar performance here. Our second Nottingham Forest vs Southampton prediction is the home-team win.

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton: Form, Recent Games, and News

Nottingham Forest Preview

It took Nottingham half a season to start showing signs of improvement and any chemistry and for some time, they definitely seemed on the right track. Right now, however, they are back to consecutive defeats and they have a few more rounds to save themselves from relegation. They won the last game, of course, but unless they continue it will not be enough.

Southampton Preview

Southampton are on the way to the Championship. They are at the bottom and have not won a match in over a month. Of course, the bottom half of the table this season is incredibly close and they can still survive with 2-3 wins in a row but based on their performances, we doubt it. Southampton are the weakest team in attack and one of the worst defensively.
