THE PREDICTION
Two historic football clubs in desperately poor form collide with thoughts of a relegation dogfight perhaps starting to overlap both sides. Sheffield Wednesday sit bottom of the Championship with the supposed ‘new manager bounce’ non-existent under Tony Pulis, who is yet to taste victory as Owls manager. Nottingham Forest haven’t fared much better under Chris Hughton, with no wins in their last six matches including five defeats and just two goals scored. The form of the two teams leads us to believe that this is set to be a turgid affair, desperately low on quality. The result itself could go either way, but attacking quality is expected to be at a premium on both ends of the field so under 2.5 goals scored should be seriously considered here.
