THE PREDICTION
This match is one with little at stake in the grand scheme of things, although Nottingham Forest will likely feel that they need one more win to be completely safe from relegation. Stoke have accumulated just a single point in their last four Championship matches with their players no doubt having an eye on the summer. Potters boss Michael O’Neill is starting to come under some pressure from frustrated Stoke fans and O’Neill responded by allowing his side to play with a more attacking mindset against Coventry last time out, which led to them scoring twice but ultimately losing 2-3. Conceding three goals will likely see O’Neill revert back to type in this one and with the last three league matches involving Nottingham Forest seeing under 2.5 goals scored, it would be a surprise if the same outcome wasn’t to occur here.
