Sheffield Wednesday vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Sheffield Wednesday take on Nottingham Forest in the Championship on Sunday. Read the match predictions to find out why the Owls are the betting tip to win at Hillsborough. Sheff Wed let a lead slip to draw 1-1 away to Burton Albion in their last match. Meanwhile Notts Forest looked out of ideas when going down 0-2 at home to Leeds United.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Nottingham Forest Preview
Sheff Wed are tipped to hand a debut to Jacob Butterfield, with the deadline day signing expected to partner Barry Bannan in central midfield. Joost van Aken is an imposing Dutch centre-back that is also in line to make his first appearance for the club. With Fernando Forestieri doubtful, Jordan Rhodes will partner Gary Hooper up-front.
Nottm Forest are without injured trio Matthew Cash, Jamie Ward and Chris Cohen while Stephen Henderson is doubtful. Ben Brereton and Zach Clough will hope to see some first team action but manager Mark Warburton hasn’t rotated his side this far and is expected to keep changes to a minimum. Daryl Murphy will start as a lone striker, with support from Osborn and McKay on the flanks.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Sheff Wed have made a quiet start to the season and will need to improve to make another push for promotion. The Owls looked to have taken the points until letting Burton back in last time out and turning draws into wins has to be the main priority for Carvalhal’s men.
Nottingham Forest came flying out of the blocks and are occupying a playoff berth at this early stage. However, I’d be surprised if they went on to last the pace and it’s fair to say Mark Warburton’s limited squad was given a wakeup call by Leeds.
This looks like a good opportunity for Sheff Wed to get up and running. They have the home advantage and are on a five game winning streak against Nottingham Forest. They’ve put two past this opponent in the last three meetings and look to be catching the visitors at a good time.
