Swansea City v Nottingham Forest prediction - double your money on Swans doing what Swansea do best

Derby County are the only team to halt Steve Cooper's Championship bandwagon this season.

But can The Rams' East Midlands' rivals, Nottingham Forest, repeat the feat?

We ask the man who has watched Swansea soar to the summit of The Championship this season, Ian Mitchelmore , for his verdict.

Win, lose or draw?

Swansea City 2-1 Nottingham Forest. Sabri Lamouchi's side have had a decent start to the campaign and will cause problems, but the Liberty Stadium is something of a fortress at present, so I'm going for a narrow home win. Thepools.com go almost double your money 19/20 on that outcome . While the 2-1 correct scoreline is 15/2 .


Who’s a good bet for first scorer?

Borja Baston. He's got better with each game and will want to add to his tally of five goals this weekend. He's 15/4 to score the first goal in the game and 6/5 any time .

Who’s on the naughty step?

The centre-backs are going to have a tough battle on their hands, and Jay Fulton will be a busy man in front of them, so I'll go with him.


Who’s on pens?

Borja Baston (see above).

Will Swansea keep a clean sheet?

Forest have plenty of firepower, with Lewis Grabban being among those in good form, so it's unlikely. Both Teams To Score is 4/6 while Both Teams To Score and Either Team to Win is an even bigger 7/5 .
