Prediction: 2-1
Nottingham Forest
Watford will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Wycombe when they take on Nottingham Forest in the Championship round 35. The Hornets quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Watford are eager to climb to automatic promotion places, but keep in mind that the likes of Deeney, Dele-Bashiru, Foster, Kabasele, and Navarro are all out of contention through injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Luton Town in midweek, with the team remaining in the 16th position in the standings. Since Watford want this win more than Nottingham Forest, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s football match. The likes of Arter, Grabban, and McKenna are likely to miss the game with injuries, while Australia international Yates is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Andre Gray):
Wolverhampton-born striker Andre Gray is a product of the Shrewsberry Town youth academy who hit the limelight during his two loan spell with Luton Town. A no-nonsense forward endured a difficult childhood which left him with a four-inch scar on his left cheek after he got stabbed in the face in a gang-related incident back in 2011.
Fortunately, Andre Grey was pulled out of the gang lifestyle by his mother and close friends and focused on his football career. Having scored 57 goals in 111 appearances with The Hatters, Gray was prized away by Brentford in a club-record deal at the time. Just a season later Gray moved to Burnley where he hit 23 goals in 41 Championship appearances to emerge as a vital cog in his club’s Premier League push in 2014/15. After nine goals in 32 top-flight appearances with he Clarets, Gray was transferred to Watford for yet another club-record fee.
The Englishman’s prolific goalscoring record in the Football League was brought to a halt, however, with Gray scoring just five goals in 31 Premier League appearances during the 2017/18 season.
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.
