Match Analysis
Nottingham Forest U21 come into this match in very poor form, losing their last four league games and struggling badly in attack (just 2 goals in 5 matches). Southampton U21, meanwhile, are solidly in the top six, with a potent attack and a strong record for scoring away from home. While Southampton's away defence is leaky (2.14 conceded per away game), Forest's attack is the weakest in the division. The most likely scenario is Southampton controlling the match, with Forest struggling to create chances but possibly nicking a goal. Expect a competitive first half, but Southampton's attacking quality should tell.
