Nottingham Forest v Bristol City: Streaming details, kick-off, referee, match odds and injury news

Bristol City will look to rescue any chance of a final play-off push against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday as they travel to the City Ground.

The Robins' hopes of a sixth place finish are hanging by a thread and only a miracle run of form will be enough to given them a chance of reaching the top six after losses against Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday.

Lee Johnson's side have lacked creativity and bite in midfield and will need to be more robust against a physical Nottingham Forest side on Wednesday, with Sabri Lamouchi's side so far cementing their place in the top six after a draw against the Owls and win over Huddersfield.

Johnson could ring the changes once again after the showing against Sheffield Wednesday and a packed schedule ahead, with the likes of Korey Smith, Callum O'Dowda and Han-Noah Massengo playing in both games since the restart so far.

Here is all the information you need on the game, including streaming details and injury news for both sides.

Kick-off

The game will kick off at 6pm on Wednesday, July 1.

Streaming details

Bristol City season card holders are able to stream the game on Robins TV.

It will be available on desktop, tablet and mobile and will be free for season card holders, while other fans can pay to live stream the match for £10.

Voucher codes have been sent out to all season card holders.

Referee

Darren Bond will be the referee for Nottingham Forest v Bristol City.

He has only overseen one Bristol City game this season, that being the 1-0 win over Barnsley in January when Niclas Eliasson scored a late winner at Ashton Gate.

He has so far refereed two Nottingham Forest games this season, a 3-2 win over Blackburn and a 1-0 loss to Charlton.

Match odds

Forest are strong favourite to win the match with the bookies, with Sky Bet offering odds of 21/20 for Lamouchi's side to win, 11/5 for a draw and 11/4 for a Bristol City win.

Paddy Power are offering similar odds, with Forest at evens to win, 23/10 for a draw and 11/4 for a Robins win.

Injury news

Bristol City have close to a fully fit squad for the game, with only Pedro Pereira the certainty to miss out after picking up a thigh strain in the Blackburn Rovers loss.

Famara Diedhiou didn't train for the first two days last week, but appeared off the bench against the Owls and could be in with a chance of starting against Forest.

Nottingham Forest don't have any fresh injury woes ahead of the match, with Ben Watson and Samba Sow returning to fitness for the Huddersfield win after missing out the week before.
