On Monday, as the Premier League season resumes after the summer break, Nottingham Forest will host last-place Burnley at the City Ground. The hosts performed admirably in their previous match, defeating Chelsea 1-0 after losing to Manchester United 3-2 last month. On the other hand, Burnley has had difficulty since their re-entry into the Premier League, losing their first three games.
Nottingham Forest vs Burnley
Despite several issues, Nottingham Forest managed to avoid relegation last season. They now believe they may get even better outcomes and even postpone combat until the very final round. With four league games under its belt, Nottingham Forest has six points to start the current campaign.
They defeated Chelsea 1-0 on the road in the previous round. Despite having 14 more shots and 76% more ball control than Steven Cooper’s team, the visitors nevertheless managed to score and win all three points. The fixture list for Nottingham Forest’s second season back in the top division was not kind to them; they had to play three of the so-called Big Six in their first four games. Prior to the international break, Chelsea was in the lead, and Nottingham Forest left Stamford Bridge with all three points, snapping their losing streak on the road.
Burnley returned to the Premier League after a one-year sabbatical, but they are unquestionably one of the poorest teams in the league, making the Lancashire team one of the clear favorites to be relegated. Burnley has suffered three losses in its first three league games of the season. They fell to Tottenham 5-2 at home in the previous round. That encounter saw a promising start from the home team, but the visitors went on to win the game, handing Vincent Kompany’s squad a second defeat.
Verdict
In four league games, Nottingham had two victories and two losses. In three home games against Burnley, they have failed to win while drawing twice. In contrast, Burnley has had difficulty since making a comeback to the Premier League. However, they did triumph over Forest in the Carabao Cup last month. Given Burnley’s league woes and Forest’s current form, expect the home team to pull out a tight victory.
Burnley and Nottingham Forest have already played one head-to-head game this year. Burnley surprised everyone by winning 1-0 away in the EFL Cup. However, as both sides had a mixed squad, that game doesn’t really represent anything. The Clarets have had a difficult start, giving up 11 goals in losses at home to Man City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham. Forest, who has already defeated one newly promoted team at home this season, will nevertheless be looking to this match as a chance to pick up some points.
This season, high-scoring games have been played by both sides. Burnley has thus far played three games with three over 2.5 goal totals, compared to three over 2.5 goal totals for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
