Blackburn – Nottingham : Preview & Prediction
Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest meet at Ewood Park in Blackburn for the Round of 16 of the League Cup.
Blackburn Rovers come into this match after a triumph, 0-2, on their trip to Norwich’s home ground in the English second division: their goals were scored by Tyrhys Dolan and Ben Gibson (own). In the last League Cup knockout round, the home side eliminated West Ham United. The home team usually plays in a 3-4-3 tactical system, giving more importance to a slower progression style of play. In this design, the three most advanced players will be Ben Brereton Díaz, Tyrhys Dolan and Sam Gallagher. It seems that manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will not be able to count on Callum Brittain, Jack Vale and Sam Barnes, all with physical problems.
Nottingham Forest come into this game after a 1-2 win against Valencia in a preparation game for upcoming official matches: the team’s goals were scored by Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi. In the last qualifying round of the League Cup, the visitors beat Tottenham 2-0. It is Morgan Gibbs-White who has the mission to best serve his colleagues up front, and the 4-3-3 tactical system has been the most used by the visiting coach. In this design, the three men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Brennan Johnson, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Jesse Lingard. Out of this game are Neco Williams, Harry Toffolo, Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards, all with physical problems.
