Nottingham Forest hosts Derby County in round 7 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, October 23rd at City Ground (Nottingham)
The Foresters were quite good in the last season. They managed to climb to 7th place in the standings of the 2019/2020 Championship. However, Sabri Lyamouchi's men completely failed at the start of the new season. Barnsley eliminated Nottingham in the first round of the League Cup, and the Foresters scored only one goal and gained zero points in the starting four rounds. As expected, the patience of the club's management has run out. During the pause for the games of the national teams, it changed a coach and invited a rather reputable specialist, Chris Houghton. The new manager made his debut successfully. Last Saturday, his new players played in Blackburn and gained a minimal victory thanks to a goal scored by Joe Lolly in the 90th minute. Then there was a 1-1 draw with Rotherham.

Philip Koku headed the Rams last year. In fact, they were handed over from the hands of Lampard, who ended the 2018/19 season in the playoffs. But Phillip again shows that he cannot succeed outside his native Netherlands, where he became the champion of the country. After failing with Fenerbahce, he finished 10th in the last Championship, and it was a significant step back compared to the previous season. However, Derby is failing even more now. In the League Cup, the Rams barely eliminated Barrow on penalties but lost to Preston in the next home match (1-2). They have one victory in the championship (1-0 on Norwich’s pitch). The other five matches ended in defeats, including after the break. On October 16, the Rams lost to Watford at home. Koku's team did not score again, and the opponent created the only goal in the 76th minute due to the efforts of Joao Pedro. The same thing happened on Tuesday - 1-0 in favor of Huddersfield.
We will see the match of the teams that manage to score only on major holidays. Therefore, you can hardly count on high scoring. Probably, the teams will limit themselves to one or two goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
