Nottingham Forest have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches against Blackpool in all competitions. Nottingham Forest have failed to win their last 8 home matches (Championship).
Lewis Grabban has recovered from an injury sustained against Birmingham so Steve Cooper can name an unchanged starting XI for the visit of Blackpool. Defensive duo Jordi Osei-Tutu and Loic Mbe Soh are both unavailable for at least the next month while summer signing Rodrigo Ely continues to build up fitness ahead of his Forest debut. First-choice goalkeeper Chris Maxwell is set for a spell on the sidelines so understudy Stuart Moore will get his first-team opportunity here. Star striker Shayne Lavery suffered a hamstring injury against Blackburn so Jerry Yates will be relied upon for goals in his absence.
Nottingham Forest struck twice inside the opening 30 minutes last time out as they cruised to a 3-0 away victory against a Birmingham side who are in free-fall. The Reds are improving under new boss Steve Cooper and are unbeaten in four heading into this tricky clash. Blackpool recorded a 2-1 win against rivals Blackburn last time out but the victory was a bittersweet one as the Tangerines lost key men Chris Maxwell and Shayne Lavery to injury. The away side have claimed 10 points from their last four league outings. 2:1
