Nottingham Forest will be looking to build on a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Aston Villa when they welcome Coventry City, with Igor Jesus pushing for a start after scoring the winner as a substitute at Villa Park. Towering centre-back Nikola Milenkovic remains in the recovery room, while fellow defender Jair Cunha is a major doubt. Forest have struggled for consistency, winning just 20% of their last 10 matches, while their home side has averaged only 0.67 goals per game during that period.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the English top flight, suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Brighton at the weekend. Adding to their woes, Taiwo Awoniyi is banned for the match. Despite their recent struggles, Coventry have won 60% of their last 10 games and have averaged an impressive 2.10 goals per match. However, their defensive record remains vulnerable, with 1.50 goals conceded per game.
As Forest have the stronger H2H record and come into the game after an important victory, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Forest to Score First and Over 1.5 goals (9 of the last 12 meetings produced at least two goals, while Coventry's matches average 3.60 goals).
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 17:30.
