Prediction: 2-1
Birmingham City
City Ground will host Saturday’s football game between Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the table. The Reds are only one point clear of the relegation zone, meaning that this game is of big importance for the home team. Nottingham Forest did well to beat Sheffield Wednesday in their last home game, which is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Birmingham.
The Blues, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Birmingham City have been struggling at the back of late, and seeing that Forest are desperate to escape the danger zone, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that the Reds are eyeing their fourth home win of the season.
