Prediction: 1-1
Millwall
Nottingham Forest play host to Millwall at their City Ground in the Championship round 9. The Reds aim to build on a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town, which gave the rock-bottom side a confidence-boost. Forest are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s football match. Defender Jordi Osei-Tutu should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures. The capital club are eyeing their second win of the season, and seeing that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s game as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Midfielder Sheyi Ojo has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all George Evans, Danny McNamara and Benik Afobe remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
