Blackburn Rovers to Win

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Blackburn have won six of their last seven games at Ewood Park, including defeats of Watford and Sunderland, while losing only one of their last five home League Cup ties.

Blackburn Rovers 2-1

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Blackburn have scored at least two goals in five of their last seven matches at Ewood Park, a run that includes 2-1 victories over Millwall and Birmingham. Nottingham Forest meanwhile have conceded at least twice in half of their eight away matches, while scoring exactly once in two of their last five competitive fixtures

Blackburn picked up their first win since the World Cup break on Saturday, a stunning 2-0 victory over high-flying Norwich, meaning they have lost just three of their last ten competitive outings.

Rovers, who defeated West Ham on penalties in the third round, have been particularly strong at Ewood Park, where they have been successful in six of their last seven, while scoring in ten of their 11 outings there.

They face a Nottingham Forest side who will surely use this clash as a chance to ease themselves back into competitive action after the break for the World Cup.

Steve Cooper named a strong side for the last round, a 2-0 defeat of Spurs, but their away form is shambolic, losing five of their seven league games on the road, and managing just one victory – at lowly Grimsby in this competition.
