THE PREDICTION
Nottingham Forest look to bounce back from two consecutive defeats in all competitions as they host Barnsley this weekend. The Tykes have picked up one point from the last 12 available to them, but will play with fearlessness as they always do under Valerien Ismael and look to take the game to the hosts. However, Barnsley’s toothlessness in-front of goal could well come back to cost them again here considering that they haven’t scored in three of their last four Championship games away from home. Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton will prioritise a clean sheet here, knowing that they have the firepower to find the net at least once and with the likes of Lewis Grabban in attack, the East Midlands side should be able to use their physicality to overwhelm a youthful Barnsley side and ultimately pick up the three points.
