THE PREDICTION
Both these sides picked up draws in midweek, but whilst Nottingham Forest will have settled for a point at home to Watford, Reading will have been disappointed not to pick up three points away to ten-man Sheffield Wednesday. They’ll be expected to bounce back this weekend at home against Chris Hughton’s side who have lost their last three Championship away matches. The Royals were extremely frustrated in midweek, after being denied a number of penalty claims that would have seen them take victory. With injuries starting to ease off and Forest suffering from a lack of confidence on their travels, it would be a surprise not to see Reading pick up the three points here.
