Week 27 features a match on Sat Jan 15th, where Millwall and Nottingham Forest will play a match in London in a meeting of these two evenly matched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. 11th placed Millwall is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Crystal Palace. Benik Afobe struck first for Millwall in the 17th minute, then Michael Olise tied it up for Crystal Palace in the 46th minute on a feed from Conor Gallagher But luckily in the 58th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Jean-Philippe Mateta. Millwall is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Nottingham Forest recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Arsenal. Lewis Grabban struck first for Nottingham Forest in the 83rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Arsenal couldn’t muster any offence and Nottingham Forest ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Nottingham Forest should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On Sat Sep 25th, Nottingham Forest hosted Millwall at the The City Ground in their last match together. Nottingham Forest and Millwall battled to a 1-1 draw. Matt Smith struck first for Millwall in the 32nd minute on a feed from Sheyi Ojo, then Max Lowe tied it up for Nottingham Forest in the 52nd minute earning them at least the one point.
Lewis Grabban has been the most effective weapon for Nottingham Forest lately. The English attacker has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. Millwall is glad to have Tom Bradshaw in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
