Robert Koren insists Hull are focused on claiming their second home win of the week when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.[LNB] The teams meet in the late kick-off with just goal difference separating them and Koren is determined Hull can secure their second successive victory following Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Derby at the KC Stadium.[LNB]It was only the Tigers' second win of the season and their first since the opening day since when they had taken just one point and crashed out of the Carling Cup at the hands of League One Brentford.[LNB]Koren told the club's official website: "Forest are a tough team to beat but we will be doing everything to try and get three points at home.[LNB]"We need to think about ourselves and the way we want to play and we will be well prepared.[LNB]"We want to get three points in front of our fans.[LNB]"I think the best is still to come from us. Some of us have only just arrived here and we need some time to get to know each other.[LNB]"It's strange to keep talking about this but that's the way it is in football.[LNB]"Hopefully we will continue to get better and better and get as many points as possible."[LNB]Forest extended their unbeaten run to five games with a 2-1 win at Preston on Tuesday although their other matches all ended in draws.[LNB]Manager Billy Davies wants his side to become tighter at the back as the Reds look to translate draws into three points.[LNB]He told Forest's website: "We've got to learn how to keep clean sheets again.[LNB]"We've given away some silly goals, some soft goals."[LNB]Of the trip to the KC Stadium, Davies added: "It's another difficult game against a club you would expect at the end of the season to be in the top four, six or eight.[LNB]"They've got Premier League experience, a very good squad of players and it will be tough."
