Former Nottingham Forest man makes Leeds United prediction

Nottingham Forest face Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds United at the weekend - and there's a lot to play for.

The fourth-placed Reds take on Leeds in second place, and Forest can cut the distance between to clubs to a single point with a victory on Saturday at the City Ground.

The match takes place at 5:30pm.

While the managers have spoken and the fans have made their predictions, former Nottingham Forest midfielder David Prutton also put his neck on the line - by making a scoreline prediction for Forest vs Leeds as part of his Sky Sports duties.

'Nottingham Forest missed a real chance last weekend. A goal up at Birmingham and a penalty shortly before half-time to double their lead,' wrote Prutton about Forest's last match on the Sky Sports website.

'Had Lewis Grabban converted you feel that they would have gone on to win the game and move to within a point of Leeds.'

'Leeds lost themselves at home to Wigan, and it will be interesting to see if Jean-Kevin Augustin is in Marcelo Bielsa's squad on Saturday, as they certainly could have done with his presence in that defeat.

'I can't split these two.'

As for the scoreline, Prutton has predicted 2-2, with the point being shared by both teams.
