'Meaningful' - Nottingham Forest tipped for victory at Wigan

Nottingham Forest are set to extend their impressive unbeaten run when they take on Wigan Athletic this weekend. That is according to former Reds man David Prutton.

Sky Sports EFL pundit Prutton is tipping his former club to come out on top against the Latics at the DW Stadium on Sunday (2pm) - in front of the live television cameras.

Forest are second in the Sky Bet Championship table, only trailing leaders West Bromwich Albion on goal difference.

Sabri Lamouchi's men are unbeaten in 10 league games, and looking to make it 11.

Wigan, meanwhile, are 19th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone.

They have won three of their five homes league games - but Prutton is predicting a 1-0 defeat for them when they come up against high-flying Forest.

"Win at home, lost away, win at home, lost away. I bang on about this a lot but Wigan's last four games just sums up their experience in the Championship under Paul Cook," he said.

"Nottingham Forest have been a little bit of a surprise package so far.

"They have ground out more results than I would have anticipated and look well placed for a meaningful run at the top six - at the very least.

"I think they could nick another win on Sunday."
