Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on the City Ground when Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers face each other in the Championship round 31. The Reds suffered yet another loss to Swansea City on Wednesday evening, with the team losing to the Swans in the Championship this time out. Nottingham Forest are eager to escape the danger zone in the Championship standings, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Riversiders.
The likes of Arter, McKenna, Sow, and Yates are all out of contention through injuries for the hosts. Blackburn, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the English second tier. Considering that the Riversiders suffered a dip in form, we are tempted to put our money on the Reds, who are eager to escape the danger zone. In their last meeting in the Championship Nottingham Forest defeated Blackburn Rovers 1-0.
