Chris Sutton makes worrying Nottingham Forest prediction in Wolves clash

Chris Sutton has shared his concern at Nottingham Forest's reliance on their home form, ahead of Saturday's huge clash against Wolves at the City Ground.

Steve Cooper's side have won just once away from home this season, but results at the City Ground which includes a famous win over Liverpool and draws against Chelsea and Manchester City have kept them out of the Premier League bottom three.

However, a 2-1 loss to Newcastle United before the international break ended Forest's unbeaten home record. Defeat to Eddie Howe's team saw the Reds beaten in a home league game for the first time since a 3-2 loss against Fulham in mid-September.

And BBC pundit Chris Sutton has predicted more bad news for the Reds. The former Chelsea and Aston Villa striker has gone for a 0-1 win for Wolves in his weekly predictions column.

He told BBC Sport: "This is another tricky one, between two more teams in the bottom nine. I am worried about Wolves, who are still in trouble, but not as much as I am about Nottingham Forest.

"It really feels like Forest can only pick up points at home, which piles the pressure on them for fixtures like this. They lost their long unbeaten run at the City Ground against Newcastle last time out so this game feels even bigger.

"The Forest fans have got behind their side so well all season but the players will be really nervous now. It's the same for a lot of the teams down there of course, but we don't know how they will handle that.

"I don't see there being many goals - even one might be enough to decide things."
