Command Analysis

Nottingham Forest

Current form
Nottingham Forest has become the main discovery of the current season in the Premier League. It seemed that after a good start, the modest team would not be able to maintain the momentum and a decline would follow. However, instead, the foresters, on the contrary, stepped up and adapted to the role of one of the leaders. At the moment, Nuno Espirito Santo charges are on a series of seven victories in all tournaments and are in third place in the Premier League table. They are behind second-placed Arsenal only by additional indicators, and are ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea by four points. A ticket to the Champions League for next season is becoming more and more real.
Success is achieved largely due to a well-organized defensive game. Nottingham Forest have conceded only 19 goals in 20 matches, only Arsenal have conceded less (by one goal). In their four previous victorious matches in the Premier League, the Foresters have won dry victories. In particular, they held back the powerful attack of such difficult opponents as Brentford (2:0) and Tottenham (1:0). In the last round, one could say that Nottingham, with class, dealt with Wolverhampton away with a score of 3:0. It should be noted that Nuno Espirito Santo team made only three shots on target during the match, and all were accurate. The effectiveness of the attack is at its best, which could be seen more than once during the season.
Nottingham Forest will continue their streak of dry victories in the FA Cup these days, when they won 2-0 away from home against Luton Town and easily made it to the 1/16 finals. From match to match, the team demonstrates the ability to achieve victories over not the strongest opponents, which is worth a lot.
