Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Birmingham City
The City Ground will host Saturday’s football match between Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City. Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in the 2018/2019 Championship season, but it has to be noted that Soudani scored the equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic in the dying minutes of the match. The Reds are determined to return to the Premier League, therefore, they need to beat teams likes Birmingham City if they are to meet the goal. Over the years Forest have turned their City Ground into a real fortress and seeing that the Blues have been struggling in front of goal of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. The Blues failed to score in previous four games in all competitions and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 5.
