Points Against the Top Six
Forest’s record against those in the top six is bettered by no-one else in the Championship.
Yes, there are 17 other teams in the league to consider; but a team’s success, especially at the top-end of the table, is often calculated by their record against their promotion rivals.
Victories are important to any side, correct; but beating your top-six rivals is a fundamental part of creating a promotion campaign and Sabri Lamouchi’s men have a stellar record against their promotion rivals.
The Reds have dropped points in just three matches, winning four, drawing twice and losing once.
Record v top six: WBA (H, 1-2 L), Leeds (A, 1-1 D), Fulham (A, 1-2 W), Preston (H, 1-1 D), Brentford (H, 1-0 W), Brentford (A, 0-1 W), Leeds (H, 2-0 W).
Aside from an early-season loss at home to West Brom, Forest are unbeaten against their promotion rivals.
Lamouchi’s side are yet to complete their round of fixtures against the top six; they head to West Brom on Saturday and in April they host Fulham prior to a trip to Lancashire to take on Preston.
Opposition Record
In comparison, none of Forest’s promotion rivals are able to boast as good a record against the top-six.
Responding to Forest’s tally of 14 points, West Brom, Leeds and Preston have all taken nine points; Fulham and Brentford have taken four points respectively.
