Swansea City vs Nottingham Forest prediction
Swansea City have impressed so far in this season’s Championship, losing just one of their opening five games. But Nottingham Forest have a new boss and he’ll be expecting big things from his side as Ange Postecoglou hunts for his first victory since taking the reins at Forest. The players are no doubt working hard to try and adapt to the full-throttle attacking style of play that Postecoglou demands of his teams, but with only a few days and one full match on the job, it’s still a work in progress.
Despite that, Nottingham Forest’s squad is significantly stronger than that of Swansea’s and over the course of 90 minutes, that is likely to tell. The Swans have conceded in both of their home cup fixtures so far and will be expected to do so again, but could throw some punches back Forest’s way. Therefore, back both teams to score and over 2.5 goals across the 90 minutes.
