Nottingham Forest vs Middlesbrough Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Forest’s six league games.
• Both teams have also struck in four of Boro’s six Championship starts.
• The hosts are seeking their first win of the season (D1, L5), while Boro have won just one of their first half dozen fixtures (D3, L2).

Both teams to score in Boro win at The City Ground

Middlesbrough will hope to bank their second victory of the season when they face off against strugglers Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, but both teams to score looks the right play from a punting perspective at The City Ground.

Chris Hughton replaced Sabri Lamouchi and managed to steer Forest to safety last term after they endured a similarly disastrous start to the campaign, though things appear even bleaker for The Reds this time around.

Forest have picked up just a single point from their opening six matches and sit rock bottom of the Championship table going into this midweek clash, and the bookmakers certainly believe their position is a true one with their relegation odds slashed to a general 11/4.

Middlesbrough won 1-2 here last season and can eek out another success at The City Ground in midweek, however, we’re only keen to give Neil Warnock’s men the nod in the correct score market considering they’ve started the campaign slowly with just one win from their half dozen outings (D3, L2).

With both teams netting in all but one of Forest’s games and in four of Boro’s six, both teams to score is our main wager for Wednesday’s action, and our selection is bolstered by the fact the sides have kept just one clean sheet between them from their 12 combined league matches thus far.
