Derby
There will be fireworks when Nottingham Forest and Derby County face each other at the City Ground in the East Midlands derby. The Reds quickly bounced back from back-to-back losses to Wigan and Hull City, with the team regaining a much-confidence. The hosts head into the local derby in high spirits, and they are likely to take advantage of the fact that Rams struggle on the travels.
Derby County are on a six-game winless run on the road in the Championship, which makes them underdogs in the East Midlands derby. In their last meeting at the City Ground, Yohan Benalouane’s goal helped the Reds win the derby, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Sabri Lamouchi’s troops. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced attacker Lewis Grabban, who scored his sixth goal of the season in a 2-1 win at Luton Town on Matchday 15.
