Nottingham Forest - Sunderland predictions

Though Nottingham Forest are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.72 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The previous round for Tricky Trees was quite uneventful, all things considered. The away game at Burnley saw a draw on half-time and a 1:1 draw at the end – not exactly a treat for the fans.

Sunderland’s previous round was a home match against Aston Villa which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 4.10 odds on a home win.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Nottingham Forest will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Sunderland have registered 6 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Saturday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

With the home-field advantage on their side, Nottingham Forest should be able to contribute 3 points towards the 4 they need to reach a better table position.

Sunderland are currently hoping to earn 1 point and move up to a Europa League qualification, though it’s still too early to tell if they can do it. However, it’s clear that earning points this Saturday will be quite difficult, considering most top bookmakers online are expecting them to lose.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Playing a somewhat risky Home Win bet is the best move for this particular matchup. The odds of 1.87 are good in terms of value, but you need to keep in mind that success is by no means guaranteed.
