The Nottingham Forest prediction that will leave Leeds United fans nervous

Nottingham Forest are busy gearing up for their next match in the Sky Bet Championship as they take on Middlesbrough.

The Reds travel to the Riverside Stadium on Monday night to take on the relegation-threatened Boro.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side are striving to achieve promotion to the Premier League, and currently lie in fourth place in the league standings.

Boro are in 21st place and only above the relegation zone on goal difference, although they could find themselves in the bottom three by the time kick off comes around on Monday night.

Ahead of the game, former Nottingham Forest midfielder David Prutton has made his regular Reds prediction.

The Sky Sports pundit reckons Forest will prove too good for their Teesside opponents on Monday, and claim a 2-1 victory at the Riverside.

“Middlesbrough put in a decent shift against Leeds in midweek, but it still wasn't quite enough”, said Prutton.

He added: “They look a bit iffy at the back and don't look like they can score, either.

“Nottingham Forest got a big win at Cardiff in midweek, but need a real string of results if they are to reel in Leeds or West Brom.

“They should have enough to overcome Boro.”
