Nottingham Forest host Huddersfield at the City Ground in the EFL Championship on Thursday, with both sides having similar seasons so far.

Nottingham Forest are currently ninth in the league, two points behind their opponents. Steve Cooper's side have been in good form of late, having lost only one of their last 10 league games. They will hope to carry that momentum into the game against Huddersfield.

Huddersfield are currently sixth in the league, six points off the top three. Carlos Corberan's side have been in good form of late and are unbeaten in their last four league games. They will look to extend their streak with a win against Forest on Thursday.

Both sides have been in strong form of late and that should make for an exciting contest.


Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Head-to-Head

Huddersfield have slightly edged the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won three of their last five meetings, with Nottingham Forest winning the other two.

Forest came away as 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture back in September. Lewis Grabban's goal, along with an own-goal from Lee Nicholls, was enough to secure all three points on the night.
