Stoke City U21 desperately need points on Friday, Feb 26 at 8:00 PM in the Premier League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Nottingham Forest U21 come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 1L recently). Stoke City U21 travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Nottingham Forest U21 won their last outing, while Stoke City U21 suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Nottingham Forest U21 and Stoke City U21 have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (3W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Nottingham Forest U21 won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nottingham Forest U21 a slight edge, but Stoke City U21 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
