Nottingham Forest vs Blackburn Betting Tips & Predictions

These two clubs are in 18th and 19th place level on points with two sides below them but neither will be sweating too much given the 9 point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone. Either club or perhaps both can guarantee their safety on Tuesday night and it will be a weight off their shoulders given the form both teams are in.

Nottingham Forest have taken just 5 points from their last 12 league games which is a fairly awful return and they’ve got worse not better since Dougie Freedman left the club. Their 0-0 draw at Rotherham at the weekend was a good result though given the form the Millers are in and they were denied a point by a last gasp winner in their last home game against Nottingham Forest so perhaps they have made slight improvements in the last week.

Paul Lambert will be looking forward to a full summer to try and put Blackburn back on the right track. They were beaten 2-0 at home by Huddersfield last time out and have just 1 point from their last 4 league games. They’ve won just 1 of their last 11 on the road so won’t travel with a great deal of confidence here.

There have been five 1-0 defeats within those last 11 away league games which clearly demonstrates their problems finding the net on the road and their solitary win was also by a 1-0 margin. Forest have lost 6 of their last 7 home games and their single win was a 1-0 victory over Preston. These two clubs have the worst goalscoring records outside the bottom 3 so we shouldn’t expect many goals here and backing Both Teams to Score – NO at 5/6 might be the way to go.
