Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Prediction Prediction Match Details
Burnley will conclude their season with a home match against Nottingham Forest at Turf Moor on Sunday. The Clarets have already been relegated, but Forest still have a chance to avoid relegation if they secure a win in this final fixture.
Burnley Preview & Form
The Clarets have already confirmed their relegation back to the Championship next season following their 2-1 loss to Tottenham last weekend. Since their promotion to the Premier League, the Clarets have struggled with winning games, having only recorded five wins in 37 matches. Burnley sit 19th in the League standings with 24 points. The Clarets’ defense has also struggled to keep shape, as they conceded 76 goals all season.
Vincent Kompany’s side has had a tough time in their previous 10 home matches, with only one win, five losses, and four draws. It’s worth noting that Burnley’s last four consecutive matches have seen both teams score.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest could have sealed their Premier League stay for next season in their last match against Chelsea at their home stadium, but two quick goals from Sterling and Jackson saw Forest lose all three vital points in the match. Currently, Forest sits in 17th place in the league standings with 29 points, and they are just three points above Luton. Forest must win this match, which will automatically seal their stay in top-flight football next season. Forest has only managed to score 47 goals while winning only eight games so far in the season.
One major issue for Nuno Santo’s team this season has been their poor performance in away games, having only secured three wins on the road. Forest will look to build on their recent 3-1 away victory against Sheffield United, during which Callum Hudson-Odoi scored two goals.
