Nottingham Forest moved three points clear of the relegation zone on Sunday afternoon.
Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw against Aston Villa turned out to be a good point, as Tottenham Hotspur lost away at Sunderland.
How do you feel after that Forest fans? 🤔
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa.
Vitor Pereira’s side could have won on another day as they actually had the superior expected goals and more attempts as well.
Anyhow, Nottingham Forest are still in a decent position heading into the final six games of the season in the relegation battle.
With that said, we’ve worked out how many points the Tricky Trees are projected to finish on based on their points per game average.

Nottingham Forest projected to finish on 36 points
After the draw against Villa, Forest’s points per game average is now 0.96, which remains a very poor record.
That means they’re projected to finish on 36 points, which probably wouldn’t be enough to survive relegation.

Europa League trophy.
As such, Pereira’s side still have a lot to do in the business end of the season, with perhaps another three wins needed.
42 points will almost certainly be enough to survive, so they’ll be targeting maximum points in the home games against Burnley, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
The Tricky Trees have three away games at Sunderland, Chelsea and Manchester United, which certainly aren’t the easiest.
Sandwiched between those games is a Europa League quarter-final clash against Porto back at the City Ground.
A win would see them advance to the semi-finals and add another two games onto their already congested fixture list.
A big month lies ahead for Forest.
