Forest to win it
Although they are coming off a win, QPR have not done too well recently; they've won just two of their last nine games, with two draws and five losses. Also, it's worth mentioning that QPR lost four of their last five games away from home. On the other hand, we have a Nottingham Forest side that's unbeaten in eight games; they've won five of those eight games, including their last two. Furthermore, Nottingham Forest lost just once in their last six encounters with QPR; they won three and drew two of those six games. With all this in mind, we're making the prediction that Nottingham Forest will take all three points from this game.
At least one side will blank
Queens Park Rangers have not been very consistent when it comes to finding the net; they failed to score in three of their last seven games. QPR will be going up against a Nottingham Forest side that kept four clean sheets in their last six league games; as a matter of fact, Forest allowed just one goal in their last four league games. Additionally, we would like to point out that QPR blanked in four of their last six clashes with Forest; they scored just two goals in that stretch. At least one side failed to score in five of the last seven meetings between these sides, and in four of Nottingham Forest's last six league games; and on that note, at least one of these teams should keep a clean sheet.
