'Bang on it' - David Prutton delivers Nottingham Forest prediction for Peterborough clash

David Prutton believes Nottingham Forest will have too much for Championship strugglers Peterborough United at the Weston Homes Stadium this weekend.

Forest will make the trip to Cambridgeshire to take on the Posh on Saturday afternoon on the back of a 4-0 win over West Brom. Peterborough, meanwhile, are looking to drag themselves out of the drop zone, though relegation is looking likely.

The Reds are fifth in the Championship and need another win to keep pace with their promotion chasing rivals. In his weekly Sky Sports predictions column, Prutton backed Forest to win 3-1.

"Peterborough have kept alive their survival hopes with back-to-back wins," former Forest midfielder Prutton wrote. "But it will still be a big ask to stay up, considering they need to win all three of their games and hope Reading totally collapse above them.

"They are also up against a Nottingham Forest side that are bang on it right now. They took West Brom apart on Monday night, and should have too much for the Posh."

Prutton prediction: Peterborough 1-3 Nottingham Forest.
