Prediction: 2-1
Rotherham United
Nottingham Forest will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday when they take on Rotherham United at the City Ground. The Reds have big ambitions for the 2018/2019 season, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to secure promotion to the Premier League. Nottingham Forest undisputedly produce much better displays at home than on the travels and seeing that Rotherham United are not regarded as good travelers, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s football match. The Millers head into the game following a 2-0 loss to Aston Vila at Villa Park and considering that they are on a four-game losing run on the road, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of spoiling Nottingham Forest’s party at the City Ground this weekend.

Highlighted Player (Costel Pantilimon):
Born in Bacau on 1st February 1987, Costel Fane Pantilimon became famous as the tallest Premier League footballer at six foot, eight inches. The towering shot-stopper made a name for himself at Politehnica Timisoara, where he spent ten years, albeit only making 93 league outings. In 2011, he signed for Manchester City to act as an understudy to England number one Joe Hart, but eventually grew frustrated by the lack of first team football after featuring in just seven Premier League fixtures during the four years at Etihad Stadium. Pantilimon was able to kick-start his career at Sunderland, becoming their first choice goalkeeper, but he ultimately lost his place in the side and decided to join Watford in the summer of 2015. The Hornets keeper has been a member of the Romania national team since 2008 and he amassed over 20 appearances for Tricolorii despite never quite being able to establish himself as an undisputed starter.
Highlighted Team (Rotherham United):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021. The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League. Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
