Prediction: 1-1
Nottingham Forest
Bristol City take on Nottingham Forest at their Ashton Gate Stadium in their first match of the season. The Robins recorded only one win in pre-season, but it has to be noted that coach Lee Johnson used warm-up games to test as many players as possible. It is well known that Bristol City are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Nottingham Forest were producing splendid displays in pre-season, with the team outplaying Malaga and Bournemouth and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s football match. The Reds have big ambitions for the 2018/2019 Championship campaign and seeing that the likes of Soudani and Grabban joined the squad, we are positive that the visitors are going to grab something from the season opener against Bristol City.

After spending his youth career at Norwich City, Korey Smith made his first-team debut for the Canaries in January 2008 in the FA Cup clash against Charlton Athletic.

The midfielder who was born on 31 January, 1991, scored one goal in 42 appearances for the club in the 2013/2014 campaign and on 27 June, 2014, he joined Bristol City for an undisclosed fee. It has to be noted that he won Johnstone’s Paint Trophy with the Robins in his first season with the team.
Korey Smith was born in Hatfield, England and he has two younger sisters, Alice and Harriet.

Nottingham Forest won the national championship in the 1977/1978 season, with the team finishing the campaign seven points clear of second-placed Liverpool. To make things even better for the fans, the City Ground outfit clinched the FA Cup trophies in 1898 and 1959.
