Nottingham Forest vs Blackburn Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Forest should force home advantage against struggling Blackburn
Nottingham Forest are hanging dangerously in the pack of teams that sit above the Championship relegation zone, but the arrival of Blackburn Rovers shouldn't worry them all too much.
Match Preview
The hosts have lost just once in their last four league matches, and recently beat high-flying Huddersfield 2-0 at home, with their form at the City Ground aiding their league position.
- - Forest 2-2 Derby
- - Preston 1-1 Forest
- - Wolves 1-0 Forest
- - Forest 2-0 Huddersfield
Forest may have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games, but their opponents are in a very tight spot heading into this fixture. Tony Mowbray’s men find themselves 22nd and without a win in seven.
When the former West Brom manager arrived at the club, it inspired some great form from his players, but they have since tailed off and found themselves one of the favourites to go down.
- - Blackburn 2-2 Preston
- - Brighton 1-0 Blackburn
- - Reading 3-1 Blackburn
- - Blackburn 0-2 Barnsley
Forest vs Blackburn Prediction and Betting Advice
Blackburn will be without first-choice central defenders Charlie Mulgrew and Darragh Lenihan, which should be further motivation for the hosts to put their opposition to the sword.
The visitors have been very reliant on their home form this season, which should put the ball in Forest’s court in terms of picking up the three points required to propel themselves further to safety.
