Our prediction for this Championship match:
After playing out a goalless draw with Coventry City on Boxing Day, Stoke City will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Nottingham Forest at their Bet365 Stadium. The Potters have been impressive at the back of late, with the team keeping a clean sheet in each of their last four league fixtures, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Forest.
Fit-again midfielder Joe Allen is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the draw with Coventry. The Reds, on the other hand, looked solid at the back in a goalless draw with Birmingham City, meaning that a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Bet365 Stadium. The likes of Colback, Bachirou, McKenna, and Freeman remain on the sidelines for the visitors, while Blackett is rated doubtful for the midweek clash.

Highlighted Player (Joe Allen):

Joe Allen is another high-quality footballer from the new generation of Wales internationals, who was part of the team that took Swansea from League One to the Premier League, and he had no problems adapting to arguably the strongest league championship in Europe.
Allen operated as a deep-lying playmaker as the Swans impressed upon reaching the elite division, with his excellent passing skills persuading Liverpool to splash £15 million on his services. The central midfielder didn’t exactly manage to develop into an indispensable member of the side at Anfield, but he is considered an important squad player and has always performed well when called upon.
Meanwhile, he has been one of the pillars of the most successful team in the Wales history together with Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey, while even representing Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Allen started five games for the Dragons as they secured the first ever appearance at the European Championship finals.
Highlighted Team (Nottingham Forest):

Nottingham Forest, the club that are often referred to as Forest, were formed in 1865. They have been playing their home games at the City Ground since 1898 and the capacity of the stadium is 30,445. Nottingham Forest are regarded as one of the greatest English clubs as they won the European Cup on two occasions. In 1979 Forest outplayed Malmo (1-0) at the Olympiastadion in Munich in the final of the elite competition, with the team beating Hamburg in 1980 in the title game at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (1-0).
Nottingham Forest won the national championship in the 1977/1978 season, with the team finishing the campaign seven points clear of second-placed Liverpool. To make things even better for the fans, the City Ground outfit clinched the FA Cup trophies in 1898 and 1959. Derby County are regarded as Forest’s bitterest rivals and the two local rivals contest in the East Midlands derby. In their first ever meeting in the local derby Forest recorded a 3-2 win over Derby County.
