Forest to pull up more trees

There is a full round of Championship fixtures on Tuesday night and Nottingham Forest look set to continue their resurgence with a win over fellow strugglers Doncaster Rovers.

After seeing off Coventry and Birmingham, Forest were held to a 1-1 draw at Barnsley last time out but they should be too strong for rock-bottom Donny on Tuesday night.  The South Yorkshire side are without a win in their last seven league fixtures and have managed just two wins and seven points on the road all season.

Doncaster are five points adrift of safety and appear to be heading into League One.  Forest are priced at 4/6 to secure the win and pile the pressure on the Rovers.  The draw is 11/4 and Doncaster are 4/1 to take all three points.

New Leeds United boss Neil Warnock couldn’t secure a win in his first game in charge as the Elland Road side suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to league-leaders Southampton.  Warnock’s second game in charge is a tricky trip to Hull City on Tuesday, with the Tigers a formidable side on home soil.

Nick Barmby’s men are unbeaten in their previous seven fixtures and can be backed at evens to see off Leeds, the draw is 12/5 and an away win can be backed at 11/4.

Derby County’s hopes of sneaking into the play-offs appear to be all but over, with the Rams currently 12 points adrift of a top six spot.  The Pride Park outfit seem set to finish mid-table as they’re 15 points clear of relegation, and pushing for as high a finish as possible remains their only realistic goal for the remainder of the campaign.

In contrast, Blackpool are involved in the battle for a top-six spot as they seek an immediate return to the top flight and the Seasiders could well take all three points when the two sides meet in Derby on Tuesday night.

Derby have been in shocking form of late and are without a win in seven, losing four and drawing three.  Blackpool have lost just once in their previous 10 league fixtures and have also won their last three away games.  The Seasiders can be backed at 11/8 to take all three points, while Derby are 15/8 to seal the win and the draw is priced at 12/5.

Ipswich have picked up of late with four wins in their last five games but they face a daunting trip to St Mary’s on Tuesday, where league leaders Southampton have won 13 of their 17 games to date.

Saints seem set to secure back-to-back promotions and should be too strong for the Tractor Boys, who are well clear of relegation but too far from the top six to mount a serious late promotion charge.  The home win can be backed at 8/13, while Ipswich are 9/2 and the draw is available at 14/5.
