Nottingham Forest told they have perfect opportunity to 'build some momentum'

Nottingham Forest will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to three successive league games when they welcome Barnsley to the City Ground on Tuesday evening (7:45pm kick-off).

The Reds bagged all three points in the East Midlands derby against Derby County last weekend to strengthen their position in the top 10.

Another win for Steve Cooper's men could see them close the gap to the top-six.

Their opposition, on the other hand, are rock bottom of the Championship.

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton says it would take a "real leap of faith" at the City Ground for the Tykes to come away with a win.

"Barnsley are in the mire," Prutton wrote in his prediction column. "Even with everything going on at Birmingham they couldn't get anything from St Andrew's. Winless in nine, it would take a real leap of faith to predict them to take anything from the City Ground.

"That was a huge result for Nottingham Forest at the weekend. They overcame some rocky patches against Derby, but clinched a win to keep them right up in the reckoning and this is a good chance for them to build some momentum."

The former Forest man backed his old side to bag all three points in a 2-0 win.
