Nottingham Forest P7 W2 D4 L1 Pts 10 GF10 GA9 GD+1 - Average goals per game:2.71
Derby P7 W2 D2 L3 Pts 8 GF12 GA11 GD+1 - Average goals per game:3.29

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Nottingham Forest are a really solid outfit who have two solid banks of four packed with quality. Upfront they have serious striking options in Simon Cox, Dexter Blackstock and Billy Sharp. Forest are struggling slightly and need a spark to get them goingf. Without a win in three matches they are lacking a bit of something. They will be boosted by the loan signing of Jermaine Jenas who is head and shoulders above any central midfielder in the division. On-loan Chelsea full-back Sam Hutchinson and midfielder Adlene Guedioura sit out.
Derby are going through a strange period and are alternating bewteen wins and losses. This inconsistency dogged them last season and Nigel Clough has not remedied it this year. Derby have a full squad to choose from and Clough has many options up front.With attackers Nathan Tyson, Theo Robinson and Conor Doyle all at full fitness and ready to go if Clough wants to shake up his forward line.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

3.60 The Draw (Pinnacle) is the bet here in a fierce local derby where all games are played with severe passion. Both sides will go head to head and this will be a massive battle. Both teams are not playing at a good level at the minute either. In a game of such local importance 3.60 is such a huge price.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Nottingham Forest (1.48) on the 0 handicap is the preferred option in this really close game. It may seem short but I really cannot see Derby taking the full three points and prefer to side with Forest when taking the draw no bet option.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 goals 1.95 (188bet) is a great bet here. This is a very tight match up and a game of such magnitude locally that statistics go out the window. Forest had started out solid but have shipped goals of late. I believe this game will be tight as neither team wants to lose here.
