    Midlands strugglers set for a draw
    22/10/20 2609

    On Friday night, Nottingham Forest host Derby County at the City Ground, in what could be a massive Midlands derby in the English Championship.

    Both teams head into this local clash desperate for points to kick-start their floundering campaigns in the second tier of English football.

    The home side are 20th in the Championship table after picking up just four points from their opening six matches in the league, just a point more than Friday night’s opponents.

    Forest have won all their four points this season from their last two games in which they have won at Blackburn and drawn with Rotherham. However, losing the first four games of the campaign played a big part in the exit of head coach Sabri Lamouchi.

    He has since been replaced by former Brighton and Newcastle boss Chris Hughton. The appointment looks like a sensible one from the home side, who need stability.

    The Tricky Trees have been in poor home form since the back of last season, having failed to win any of their last six league outings at the City Ground.

    Forest may have endured a difficult start to their season, but Derby are enduring an even worse start to their Championship campaign. The Rams are in the relegation zone of the embryonic Championship table having taken just three points from their opening six games.

    One of the visitors biggest problem in recent league outings has been a lack of goals, as they have scored just once in their previous four Championship matches.

    Clean sheets have also been hard to come by of late, as they have managed to keep their opponents out in just one of their previous 12 league games dating back to last season.

    Forebet predicts that this clash will produce more frustration for both sets of fans, ending in a low-scoring draw.
