Derby vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

• Nottingham Forest have lost all four Championship games
• Derby have lost once in four matches this term
• Forest have won once in their last nine league trips

Time to worry for Forest

Nottingham Forest have started the season with four straight defeats, the only side in the division without a point at this stage. With local rivals Derby next up its going to be tough for Chris Hughton’s side to turn things around.

It was easy to see Derby being this season’s crisis club, having gone through a summer of turmoil with players leaving, a transfer embargo and the threat of a points deduction applied to last season’s table to take them into League One.

However, the Rams are in solid form with five points from four games this season. They have only lost once, with that defeat coming courtesy of a 100th-minute winner at Peterborough.

Forest’s 4-0 loss to Wolves in the Carabao Cup was a fourth-straight defeat in all competitions and their fifth of the season. The visitors have won just once in their last nine league trips, so I’m backing Derby draw no bet alongside a 1-0 correct score prediction.
