Match Time & Date:

15:00 GMT
Prediction: 1-1
Nottingham Forest
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to build on a 3-2 win over Stoke City when they host Nottingham Forest at their Ewood Park on Saturday evening. The Riversiders returned to winning ways and, no doubt, they gave fans something to cheer about. Blackburn Rovers’ main goal is to secure the Championship survival, but, as things stand now, they could book a place in the play-offs as well. A man to watch in the home team will be Bradley Dack, who has netted four goals so far this term. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, recorded back-to-back wins over the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United in previous two home games in the Championship, but given their poor away record, we predict that the Reds are going to share the spoils with Blackburn Rovers on day 10 of the new Championship campaign.
