THE PREDICTION
Middlesbrough remain unbeaten since the opening night of the Championship season after a 2-0 win over Coventry last time out saw them move to eighth in the league table. Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Luton in midweek and face a defensive crisis going into this game following Nicholas Ioannou’s sending off. A well drilled Middlesbrough side with home advantage should be more than capable of taking advantage of this and Neil Warnock’s men look poised to make it two league wins in less than a week.
