Chris Sutton believes Nottingham Forest's "terrible" away form will cost them the victory at Leeds United.
Steve Cooper's side will return to action at Elland Road, in this evening's 7:45pm kick-off. They will be hoping to reverse their abysmal record, of collecting just six points while losing nine games away from the City Ground.
But it is a must-win game for both sides with only one point separating them between 16th and 18th place, where Leeds dropped into following the heavy 4-1 defeat to leaders Arsenal last time out.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Sutton has highlighted Forest's "worst record" in the top division, and predicted a 2-0 defeat for Cooper's men.
"This is a huge game for both clubs, but particularly Nottingham Forest - they have not won since they beat Leeds at the City Ground on 5 February, seven games ago," Sutton wrote in his BBC Sport column. "I've mentioned my relegation 'worryometer' before and Forest still worry me, a lot.
"I can't put my finger on why their away form is so bad, but it really is terrible. They have the worst record in the top flight, with one win and six points in total from 13 games on the road.
"It's a blow for Leeds to be without Willy Gnonto and Tyler Adams, who are both injured, but the home crowd will be really up for this and I fear for Forest at Elland Road."
Sutton's prediction: Leeds United 2-0 Nottingham Forest.
