Nottingham Forest vs Rotherham Predictions

• Four of Nottingham Forest’s five league matches this term have produced fewer than 2.5 goals.
• Similarly, four of Rotherham’s five Championship outings have generated fewer than 2.5 goals.
• Forest are unbeaten in 11 home games against The Millers, winning the last four.

Cagey affair anticipated at the City Ground

Joe Lolley’s first goal of the season ensured Chris Hughton made a winning start to life as Nottingham Forest boss on Saturday and his side are fancied to edge another close one at home to Rotherham United this week.

Forest suffered four defeats from four prior to Hughton’s arrival and were evidently hungover from last season’s collapse, however, the 61-year-old oversaw a much improved performance from The Reds at Ewood Park and they deservedly snatched the points after besting Blackburn for most of the contest.

And with momentum now likely to build, Forest are fancied to follow-up this Tuesday against Rotherham – a team they have not lost to in the last 11 meetings at the City Ground.

Forest have won the last four of those including a 1-0 victory last term and that’s the score-line we’re predicting here with goals set to be at a premium.

Both teams have seen four of their five matches this season generate fewer than 2.5 goals and that trend should continue Tuesday based on how Hughton is likely to approach the game. So, despite favouring the hosts, under 2.5 goals stands out as a better wager for this clash with Forest marginally on the short side in the match betting.
