THE PREDICTION

Nottingham Forest have accrued eight points from their last four Championship fixtures, with their latest being a hard-fought 0-0 draw at home to Bournemouth at the weekend. Having now established daylight between themselves and the relegation battlers, Chris Hughton’s side travel to high-flying Swansea with little to lose and everything to gain. The Swans have not lost at home since back in October and will come into this encounter as heavy favourites. However, the Nottingham Forest side on their day are as good as any team in the division and with veteran striker Glenn Murray in attack, the visitors have a focal point to target up top. Therefore, considering Nottingham Forest double chance here may well prove a shrewd move.
