The market favors Nottingham Forest. Their win at Aston Villa ended the slide, and they have won every home meeting with Coventry in the past five years. However, they are winless at home with five draws in their last ten, while Coventry are 0-4 without a goal, so a draw remains a concern.
Nottingham Forest have scored no goals in two league home matches this season, raising doubts about their ability to break down a deep defense.
Coventry have seen a goal scored or conceded before half-time in eight of their last ten competitive matches, so an early goal could increase volatility.

Nottingham Forest have won every home meeting with Coventry over the past five years, a crushing head-to-head edge, while Coventry arrive on four straight defeats with zero goals scored and ten conceded, including a 0-5 thrashing last time out. Forest finally won at Aston Villa but remain goalless in two home league games with five draws in their last ten at home, making a narrow home win the most reasonable landing spot.
Nottingham Forest have failed to score in both home league matches this season and drawn five of their last ten at home, so their ability to break down a deep block is questionable and the draw looms
Coventry are badly depleted by injuries with Awoniyi also suspended after a red card, but first-half goals in eight of their last ten show an early strike could completely reshape the contest

Nottingham Forest claimed their first win of the season by beating Aston Villa 2-1 away and have won at home against Coventry in each of the last five years, while Coventry have lost all four league games without scoring, conceding 10 goals and travelling with several absentees. Forest have, however, failed to score in both home league matches and drawn five of their last ten at home, so a narrow home win is favoured with the draw a real threat.
Nottingham Forest have scored zero goals in two home league games this season; another blunt display would sink the home-win call
Coventry have shown plenty of first-half goal action; if they concede early their defence could collapse and push the scoreline beyond three goals, widening the range of likely results
