Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction Prediction Match Details
In round 36 of the Premier League, Sheffield United, already relegated, will host Nottingham Forest, who are battling to avoid relegation, at Bramall Lane Stadium.
Sheffield United Preview & Form
Sheffield United have been relegated to the Championship after losing 5-1 against Newcastle United in their last match. They are currently on a four-match losing streak in the league and have only managed to win one out of their last 15 matches, recording 11 defeats, three draws, and one defeat. The Blades have struggled to keep up with the EPL level, winning only three matches out of 35, leaving them with a total of 16 points, 10 points away from safety, and only three games left to play.
The Blades have also been performing poorly in front of their home fans, failing to record any wins this year and losing six out of the last nine matches played at their home ground. During this run, Chris Wilder’s side conceded 35 goals in total while managing to score only 12 goals against their opponents.
It’s worth noting that eight of Sheffield United’s matches have resulted in over 3.5 goals, indicating a high-scoring trend in their games.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest have shown a lot of quality and fighting spirit in their recent Premier League matches. However, their form has been terrible in the last five games, with three defeats, one draw, and one win. They are currently in 17th place, just above Sheffield United, with 26 points from 35 games (seven wins, nine draws, and 19 losses). They are only one point clear of the relegation zone, so their manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, will want his team to fight hard in the remaining games of the season to avoid relegation.
Forest will rely on the positives from their latest defeat against Manchester City, and they will go into the game against Sheffield United with some momentum on their side. However, they have failed to register a victory in their seven away matches in the league, recording five losses and two draws. Nuno Santo anticipates that his side will improve their performances away from home soil as they hope to stay in the top flight next season. During their winless run, Forest only failed to score twice, scoring seven goals but conceding 15 goals in total.
