Nottingham Forest vs Millwall Predictions

• Following the sacking of Chris Hughton, Forest bagged their first league win of the season last week with a 2-0 success at Huddersfield.
• Opponents Millwall have won just one of their eight Championship games this term, however, five of their starts have ended all square.

Cooper to commence Forest tenure with a point

New manager Steve Cooper oversees Nottingham Forest for the first time this weekend and the Welshman can kick off his tenure at The City Ground with a point against Gary Rowett’s Millwall.

It’s difficult to be confident about what to expect from Forest at the moment following their disastrous start to the season, though they turned in a much improved display at Huddersfield last weekend after the sacking of Chris Hughton.

The Reds got their first league win of the campaign on the board via a 2-0 score-line in West Yorkshire, and another positive performance could be forthcoming this Saturday as Forest’s playing personnel look to impress the incoming Cooper, who will be tasked with steering the club out of danger in the coming weeks and months.

Managerial changes often provoke a decent short term response, though Forest’s overall results this season, including six defeats from eight in the league, mean they’re still a major turn off from a punting perspective.

Millwall also lack appeal for this fixture though in terms of banking all three points, with The Lions winning just one of their eight Championship starts thus far.

Five of those games have ended level, and it’s very possible that Gary Rowett’s charges could grind out another stalemate here.

Both sides lack quality up front with just 15 goals netted between them in 16 combined league matches, so we’re recommending a small stakes wager on the draw in this one and a 0-0 result could be the way to go for correct score players.
