Pundit reveals Nottingham Forest prediction ahead of Sheffield Wednesday showdown

Nottingham Forest make their long-awaited return to Sky Bet Championship action this weekend.

The Reds resume their campaign following the coronavirus shutdown with a match against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday (3pm).

The season has been on hold since mid-March as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Forest will be looking to maintain their promotion push in their final nine league fixtures.

Sabri Lamouchi's men are currently fifth in the table - in a play-off place - with a five-point cushion inside the top six.

They are, though, 10 points off an automatic promotion spot, and 11 adrift of leaders Leeds United.

Wednesday, meanwhile, are 15th in the table - eight points outside the play-offs and nine clear of the relegation zone.

Former Forest midfielder and current Sky Sports pundit David Prutton is backing his former club to make a winning return to action.

Prutton is predicting the Reds to come away from South Yorkshire with a 2-1 victory.

Here are his Championship predictions in full...

Blackburn 0-2 Bristol City

Cardiff 1-2 Leeds

Fulham 1-2 Brentford

Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea

Millwall 0-1 Derby

Huddersfield 1-1 Wigan

Hull 2-1 Charlton

Luton 1-0 Preston

QPR 2-1 Barnsley

Reading 1-1 Stoke

Sheff Wed 1-2 Nottingham Forest

West Brom 3-1 Birmingham
