Match Odds
Cardiff go into this match as 7/5 favourites at the Cardiff City Stadium despite lying five places behind Forest in tenth.
The Bluebirds have won nine of the last ten matches against Forest, but Cardiff have drawn 14 matches this season, the most in the Championship, including seven of their last eight home games. Forest have drawn four of their last nine and a draw is at 21/10.
The Reds have won only one of their last 11 awayleague visits to Cardiff a 2-0 victory back in November 2010. Forest are 2/1 tobring a three-match winless streak to an end.
Talking tactics
Both sides are likely to continue with their 4-3-3formations, but both have injury concerns.
This one could be tight and it could revolve aroundthe creativity in midfield when it comes to unlocking defences. Marlon Pack andWill Vaulks will be pivotal at both ends of the pitch, expected to break upplay and kick-start attacks.
For Forest, Joe Lolley will provide a threat from widepositions. The attacking midfielder is the visitor’s most potent shot-taker andhe’s managed at least three efforts in seven of his last nine games.
Goalscorer Odds
Lewis Grabban is always a goal threat and with 16goals for Forest this season he will be a marked man. The striker has gone fivegames without a goal but is 7/4 to end his drought with a goal anytime.
For Cardiff, Callum Paterson can be backed at 5/1 first goalscorer or 23/10 anytime . A goal in both halves of the match and the game to be a draw is 5/1 on our #GETAPRICE market.
