THE PREDICTION
Both these two sides fell to away defeats in midweek, with Nottingham Forest beaten 1-0 at Swansea and Blackburn losing 2-1 vs Barnsley at Oakwell. Both teams will be desperate not to record another loss with Forest still not out of relegation contention and Blackburn harbouring outside hopes of a playoff push. This could lead to a tight affair at the City Ground, with goals hard to come by as both teams are likely not to taking any unnecessary risks that may end up costing them the game. Under 2.5 goals scored should therefore be considered for what would be the third successive match involving Nottingham Forest.
