Nottingham Forest vs Rotherham United Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Nottingham Forest vs Rotherham United
England – Championship
Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2024
Starts at 19pm UK / 45pm CET
Location: City Ground.

The Tricky Trees got off to a worrying start to their campaign and were assigned to the bottom tier of the table. So far, they have only scored two goals in the competition, with only Wycombe (the worst team in the league) scoring fewer goals.

However, Chris Hughton's men had won their last match, and that gives fans some hope. And this week, they'll face a newly promoted team; the millers.

The latter are not only hailing from League One, but are also struggling to cope with the intensity of the top division. They have only won one game so far, and that was against Wycombe.

Also, Tricky Trees have a great h2h record against them, especially at this stadium.

As such, Nottingham Forest are expected to have the upper hand on Tuesday. However, please understand that they have had issues with their defense over the last few months. And to keep piling up, Paul Warne's men have been scoring goals in games consistently.

For the reasons, expect the BTTS bet to also pay good returns.

Nottingham Forest vs Rotherham United: head-to-head (h2h)

• Hughton's men have recorded eight of their previous ten overall wins.
• However, they had lost in the last match, by 2-1 away from home.
• In this place, the hosts follow a sequence of four consecutive victories.
• In fact, no guest has won at this stadium for the past two decades.

Nottingham Forest vs Rotherham United: prediction

Tricky Trees posted a 1-0 road win on the final day of the game against Blackburn. Meanwhile, the Millers lost 1-2 at home to Norwich.

As it stands, Hughton's men have the upper hand. The reason is that Warne's men are not very experienced and will need more time to adjust to the championship. Also, they only won once all season, and that was against the worst team in the EFL.

Furthermore, the Reds also have an impressive h2h record against this opponent, and have not lost to them at this stadium since 2000.

As such, he expects Nottingham Forest to secure all three points this week. However, on the other hand, it is important to understand that they have not kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 games, and have conceded two or more goals in their last four consecutive home matches.

In addition, the Millers have also scored goals in their last 15 consecutive road games.

Probably expect goals from both teams at the City Ground.
