David Prutton has predicted on Skysports.com that Wolverhampton Wanderers will win against Nottingham Forest at home this weekend.

Wolves will take on Forest at the Molineux Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Former Forest midfielder Prutton believes that the Wanderers will pick up all three points from the encounter courtesy of a 2-1 win.

Prutton wrote on Skysports.com: “It wasn’t a great start for Aitor Karanka last week as Nottingham Forest fell at home to Aston Villa. They put in an incredibly dour performance, which was disappointing to see from them after such a fantastic win over Arsenal in the FA Cup the week before.

“It doesn’t get any easier for Forest with a trip to Molineux on Saturday. Wolves have the best home record in the Championship and they’re in a great position to keep that going. Home win.”

A footnote added: “Prutton predicts: 2-1.”

Wolves have been the best team in the Championship so far this season and will head into the match against Forest as favourites.

Although the Wanderers’ performances and results in their last three competitive games have not been great, Nuno’s side have the better team than the Reds.

Forest, though, will not be easy pushovers, especially with Aitor Karanka now in charge of the Reds.

An early goal for the Reds could make it tricky for Wolves, but it is hard to see the Wanderers drop all three points from the encounter.

Wolves are at the top of the Championship table at the moment, while Forest are currently 15th in the standings.
