Prediction: 0-2
Tip: Result- Nottingham Forest
Key Points:
1. Nottingham Forest has won all of their last three games in the Championship.
2. Middlesbrough has won two of their last three games in the Championship.
3. Nottingham Forest has the third best away record in the Championship.
After a poor start to the season, Nottingham Forest has picked up form in the past two months and enjoyed a great run of results. Ending the year strongly will be on the agenda for Forest as they travel away to Middlesbrough on Boxing Day. It is likely to be a very competitive game since Middlesbrough has also lately enjoyed a good run of form.
Steve Cooper has done a stellar job with Nottingham Forest since arriving at the club in September. Forest is currently seventh in the points table, one point behind the sixth-placed Stoke City. In order to remain in contentions for play-offs, Nottingham needs to maintain the good run of form and capitalise on minor slip-ups from other rivals.
Nottingham Forest travels to Middlesbrough after winning all of their last three games in the Championship. The latest win in the league came against Hull City last Saturday. Cooper’s men have been unbeaten in their last nine league games, so it is going to take a near-perfect performance from Middlesbrough to take all three points.
Middlesbrough has also enjoyed a mini-renaissance over the past few weeks, winning three out of their last four games. Chris Wilder has managed to make an instant impact as Middlesbrough is getting better with every passing game.
There is still a big chance for Middlesbrough to qualify for the playoffs. They are currently ninth in the points table, two points behind sixth-placed Stoke City. The game against Nottingham Forest is crucial for Middlesbrough to climb the points table and keep challenging for a place in the top six.
We are backing Nottingham Forest to take all three points away at Middlesbrough. Forest has enjoyed a tremendous record away from home this season. Moreover, Forest has been much more consistent over the last few weeks, further hinting towards a victory away at Middlesbrough.
