Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town will trade tackles at the City Ground on Saturday, with three points at stake in the EFL Championship.
The hosts played out a goalless draw with Bristol City in their most recent fixture last Saturday. Huddersfield Town were on the wrong end of a 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth.
First-half goals from Philip Billing and Dominic Solanke helped the Cherries pick up all three points.
Nottingham Forest are relatively comfortable in 15th place, having garnered 49 points from 41 games to date.
Huddersfield Town are just five points above the dropzone and need all three points to boost their chances of survival.

Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield's games involving lower-ranked sides tend to be low-scoring affairs and a goal-shy Forest might prioritize solidity rather than expansiveness.
The visitors are more in need of points than the hosts but we are predicting a share of the spoils with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Huddersfield Town
