Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Aesseal New York Stadium when Rotherham United and Nottingham Forest face each other in the Championship round 32. The Millers suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous three league fixtures. Rotherham’s Championship status is in great danger, and, no doubt, they are going to fight tooth and nail against Forest.
The Reds, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Swansea City, with the team beating Blackburn Rovers thanks to Alex Mighten’s goal. Despite scoring the winner in the triumph over the Riversiders, the teenager is likely to start from the bench. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Rotherham United have been struggling to find their best form in February. The likes of Ogbene, Mattock, and Lindsay are sidelined with injuries for the hosts, while Arter, Sow, and McKenna are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Adam Thompson):
Born in Harlow, England on September 28, 1992, Adam Thompson is a defender who plays for Bury in League One. Thompson started his youth career at Watford and after making 14 appearances for the Hornets at senior level, he moved to Southend United, signing a permanent deal with the club in January, 2014.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet on loan as well before joining the Shakers. Adam Thompson has a short loan spell at Bradford City in the 2017/2018 season, but he made no more than nine appearances for the Bantams. Despite being born in England, Adam Thompson decided to represent Northern Ireland in international matches.
He made his debut with the Northern Ireland national team on February 9, 2011, coming from the bench in a 3-0 loss to Scotland. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine showings at right-back as well.
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.
