Nottingham Forest vs Derby County Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Both of these clubs are down at the wrong end of the Championship table. After Tuesday’s games, Forest are 20th in the table and opponents Derby County, a place and a point below them. Nottingham Forest so nearly made it into the promotion play-offs last season but had a poor end to the 2019/20 campaign. That carried on in this new campaign as they lost their first four games of the season. A change of management took place, with former Brighton boss Chris Hughton taking over. He’s got off to a good start with four points from his first two games in charge. The weekend saw them get their first points of the season as they won 1-0 at Blackburn with a 90th minute winner. His first home match in charge saw them held to a 1-1 draw by Rotherham. They had to come from behind to earn that point.
Derby County also narrowly failed to make the promotion play-offs last season. The new term has been a poor one for them so far with just three points from their first six games, leaving them a point above the relegation zone. They will drop into the bottom three if Barnsley can avoid defeat at Stoke on Wednesday. All of Derby’s points came from a win at Norwich City thanks to a Wayne Rooney goal (who misses this game as he’s self-isolating) three minutes from time. Their other five league games this season have all ended in defeat with just one more goal scored and that was in their opening fixture. These two clubs drew 1-1 in Derby in early July but since then both sides have only won two out of 11 league games. Forest at least have a bit of momentum under their new boss and can get a narrow win here.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Derby County Prediction
Nottingham Forest have made a good choice in appointing Chris Hughton as their new boss. He has done well in the Premier League and knows the Championship well. He's got off to a good start with a run of four points from his first two games. They did well to battle from behind and get a point at home to Rotherham on Tuesday. Derby remain in trouble with just three points from six games. They have one win and five losses and have been out of form for a fair while. Go for Forest to get the home win here and continue climbing up the table.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
