Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest fire up?
Early season back-to-back defeats against Coventry City 2-1 away from home on the opening day of the new Championship season followed by a 2-1 loss at home to Bournemouth on Saturday doesn’t appear to bode well for this upcoming clash against Blackburn Rovers.
The bigger picture shows that Forest have failed to win any of their last eight matches overall in the English second tier, losing four and drawing four and indeed, the Tricky Trees have been anything but in recent times as Chris Hughton’s side have managed to win just two of their last 16 matches overall.
In addition, Nottingham Forest have picked up just two wins on home turf at their City Ground from their previous 12 games, one of which was a 1-0 win against Blackburn Rovers.
Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Rovers grab win?
Blackburn Rovers have hit the ground running so far in this season’s Championship as Tony Mowbray’s side have picked up where they left off at the end of last term by picking up four points from their opening two games of this new term.
Rovers ended last season with two wins from their final three games which included wins against Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City, both by 5-2 margins, while this season, Rovers have registered a 2-1 home win over Swansea City and held Millwall to a 1-1 draw at The Den.
Blackburn have won just one of their last 11 away games though, losing six of these, but they’ve lost just two of their last seven matches on the road while former Forest striker, Brereton, will be keen to prove a point here.
