THE PREDICTION
Chris Hughton’s first game in charge of Nottingham Forest sees them travel to Ewood Park to face an in-form Blackburn side who have not lost in the Championship since the opening weekend of the season. Hughton has a reputation for drilling his teams defensively upon arrival and Forest should immediately look tighter at the back. This could lead to a drab affair here, with perhaps a goalless draw the most likely outcome, stopping the current four match losing streak in the league that is plaguing the Reds.
