Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Team to Win, Form

A few weeks ago it seemed like the final-day clash between Burnley and Nottingham Forest might end up being a straight shootout in the battle against relegation.

However, Burnley were relegated last weekend, while Forest are safe for another year.

Officially, Forest could actually still be relegated, but it would take a gargantuan swing in goal difference between themselves and Luton for that to happen.

Burnley current form

The Clarets have picked up points here and there recently and even defeated Sheffield Utd, but it has been an overall lack of victories in the business end of the campaign that has seem them relegated.

They have won just twice in 2024 against Sheffield United and Burnley.

Last time out, they were relegated after a 2-1 defeat away at Tottenham.

Nottingham Forest current form

Luckily for Forest, they do have played Sheffield United recently and claimed a win as everyone seems to beat the Blades.

Apart from that, their form has been poor, with three losses out of their last four versus Everton, Man City and Chelsea.

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Team News

Aaron Ramsey, Jordan Beyer, Nathan Redmond, Ameen Al-Dakhil and Luca Koleosho are all missing for Burnley. Ramsey has a serious knee injury and will be out until next winter.

The only injury concern for Forest surrounds Neco Williams, and Nuno Espirito Santo said this week that his player will be assessed before kick-off.

Burnley will do well to keep hold of their captain Josh Brownhill this summer.

Key player – Nottingham Forest

Forest have really missed Taiwo Awoniyi up top and although Chris Wood has been excellent since arriving from Newcastle, Awoniyi might be handed a start.
