Prediction: 2-1
Stoke City
Saturday’s football game at the City Ground pits together Nottingham Forest and Stoke City, the two playoffs-chasing sides. Nottingham aim to build on a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Stoke City. The likes of Lewis Grabban, Alex Mighten, Jordi Osei-Tutu, and Loic Mbe Soh are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
The Potters, on the other hand, did well to crush Swansea City 3-0 in their last league match. Stoke City are four points behind the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Abdallah Sima, Mario Vrancic, and Romaine Sawyers should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
