Prediction: 1-0
Nottingham Forest
Burton Albion will be looking to claim yet another major scalp in the Carabao Cup when they host Nottingham Forest at their Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Brewers set up a meeting with Forest by beating the likes of Aston Villa and Burnley and they are eager to make yet another miracle. Burton Albion are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Reds and we predict that they are going to extend their winning run in the League Cup to four games. Nottingham Forest are fully focused on the Championship as they aim to secure promotion to the Premier League and that is yet another reason why we believe that visitors are going to return home empty-handed. You should bear in mind that the Reds have yet to find the net against Burton Albion at Pirelli Stadium.

The winger, who is capable of playing as full-back as well, was born on 22 February, 1990 and he began his youth career at Plymouth Argyle. However, he did not make a senior debut for the club as he was sent on loan to Port Vale in 2008 and then to Grimsby Town in 2009.

The pacey winger scored five goals in 32 appearances for the club in the 2014/2015 campaign and he played no less than 39 games for the Brewers in the 2015/2016 League One campaign.

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.
