Prediction: 1-1
Nottingham Forest
A spot in the EFL Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest face each other at Ewood Park. The Riversiders did well to shock Norwich City (2-0) in their last league match, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Forest. Keep in mind, though, that all Callum Brittain, Jack Vale, and Sam Barnes should miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Reds defeated Crystal Palace thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White in their last Premier League game, but beating Blackburn on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Ewood Park, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away side, midfielder Orel Mangala is back from suspension, while defensive trio Toffolo – Niakhate – Biancone remains in the recovery room.
