Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Match Preview

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Match Preview

• Both teams scored in nine of Burnley’s previous ten league games.
• Nottingham Forest conceded at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League fixtures.
• The Reds have won just 3 of 18 league fixtures on the road this season.

Burnley and their fans will have a farewell from the Premier League football on Sunday afternoon. They host Nottingham Forest in the last game of the season at Turf Moor. The last weekend’s 1-2 loss at Spurs took the last chances of staying up for Vincent Kompany and his troops.

Burnley got off to a dream start last Saturday in North London. Jacob Bruun-Larsen notched his sixth goal of the campaign to push Clarets in charge at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Nevertheless, Spurs turned things around in the second half to send Burnley to Championship football even before the final day of the season.

Nottingham Forest were also victims of a second-half comeback last weekend. They fell 2-3 at home to Chelsea. The defeat kept the Reds in mathematical danger, although it is clear that Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will stay in the top flight next season. Nottingham Forest enter the final day with a three-point advantage on Luton Town and a superior goal difference by 12 goals.

Latest Duels

• Burnley are unbeaten in the last nine encounters with the Reds. They have three wins and draws each in the previous six H2H meetings with Nottingham Forest.
• The teams shared spoils in a 1-1 draw in this season’s game in September last year at The City Ground.
• None of the previous five head-to-head games between these rivals provided three or more goals.

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

The time has come for the low-scoring trend in this matchup to end. Nottingham Forest have been quite efficient in the final third in recent weeks. They bagged five goals in the last two league outings.

The Reds have also conceded two or more goals in all but one of the previous six league affairs. We know that Burnley fancy attacking football under Vincent Kompany.

Nine of Clarets’ last ten league games produced goals at both ends. We will take the Over 3.5 goals bet at the 2.20 odds as the main betting option.

Both teams left a strong impression in the last weekend’s games despite their respective defeats. We like the value with the hosts here. Burnley will return to the EFL Championship next season. They want a victorious farewell from the top flight football in front of the home fans.

Nottingham Forest have been anything but a force on travels this season. The fact they won just 3 of 18 away games in the league speaks volumes. We will opt for the home win or draw double chance pick at the odds of 1.57.
