Nottingham Forest v Bristol City: Betting Preview - (2025)

Updated: 26/04/2025

A new Manager, but a familiar face will lead Nottingham Forest into their next game, against Bristol City at the City Ground after Club Legend, Martin O’Neill, was announced as the Reds’ new permanent manager during the week.

Although the visitors have won their last three Championship matches, Forest will be relishing the chance to kick off their new Manager’s reign at the Club with a win in front of the home crowd, and judging by the BetBright odds, O’Neill could well get off to a good start.
