The Reds lost consecutive matches against Barnsley and AFC Bournemouth, ending a previous run of just one loss in seven Championship matches.<\/p>\n
Chris Hughton\u2019s side are 11 points adrift of the play-offs after 13 matches, collecting just 12 points after a slow start.<\/p>\n
Their opponents tomorrow, however, head to Nottinghamshire as the sixth-most in-form Championship team, drawing 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday in their last outing.<\/p>\n
Swans top-scorer Andre Ayew\u2019s second-half penalty salvaged a point for the Welsh side, after going behind to Adam Reach\u2019s 27th-minute strike.<\/p>\n
Steve Cooper\u2019s side arrives in relatively hot form having lost just three times in their opening 13 matches, winning six and drawing five.<\/p>\n
Swansea are winless in their last four matches away from the Liberty Stadium, with the City Ground proving a particularly tricky venue for the Coopers’ team, having failed to win in their last eight visits.<\/p>\n
Despite their best efforts, goals have come at a premium in recent weeks for Nottingham Forest. The Reds had a combined total of 21 shots across their last two matches but failed to score on both outings.<\/p>\n
The Reds have had a higher than average number of shots-on-goal per match (12.4) this season and a quartet of players create more than 1.4 chances per match – Cyrus Christie (1.45), Joe Lolley (1.62), Nicholas Ioannou (1.78) and Luke Freeman (1.98).<\/p>\n
Despite having 11 shots against AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday night, and 53 dangerous attacks, the Reds could only muster three shots on-target and left the South Coast empty-handed.<\/p>\n
Regardless of having failed to score in their last two matches, boss Hughton said morale remains high ahead of Swansea City\u2019s visit, the second of five consecutive matches against teams in the current top six.<\/p>\n
