TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Nottingham Forest have no wins in four as they hit a wall over the last few weeks. Their run of games have not been particularly difficult either so it does not look good for them. They had and excellent start to the season too with an unbeaten run and a strong opening showing. Key men Dexter Blackstock and Simon Cox sit out after suspensions in the battle with Derby. Attacking midfielder Adlene Guedioura is still suspended while backup striker Marcus Tudgay, another forward is sidelined too. Billy Sharp will start as attacking options run dry. Big signing Jermaine Jenas is a bit behind in fitness but may be risked here.
Blackburn finally removed the dead man walking Steve Kean after a run of two games without a win! He was walking a tightrope and automatic promotion would not have probably saved him. The fans are leaving in droves and this is a bigger worry as the club looks to move forward. Progressive coach Eric Black takes the reigns and should be able to call on Colin Kazim-Richards after the Turkish striker regained fitness. Blackburn have been poor defensively but look very dangerous going forward.

1X2 PREDICTION

3.16 Blackburn (Pinnacle) is the selection in this game of the week in the Championship. Eric Black takes over after Kean was bumped and I fancy him to steady the ship with a vital win at one of their promotion rivals. Forest have not got going at all and added to their attacking suspensions with three front line strikers out the smart money is on the away side.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Blackburn at 0 (2.25 188bet) is taken here as two of pre-season favourites go head to head. It hasn't quite panned out for either side and they both have experienced big problems so far. Blackburn are taken due to their fantastic attacking potential. Forest have too many injuries to key players to be considered.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.92 (188) is the bet here. Blackburn games usually go over as their awful defence cannot be trusted in any game. 7 from the last 10 games involving the teams playing today have gone over 2.50 goals so its for sure the value bet here. Uncertainty for both sides and a game that looks like it could be end to end.
