Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley

Two weeks after their exit from the EFL Cup at the hands of Burnley, Nottingham Forest will be seeking retribution as the Clarets make their way to the City Ground for Monday’s Premier League clash.

Steve Cooper’s team headed into the international break on the heels of a 1-0 victory against Chelsea, while their opponents suffered a harsh 5-2 defeat at the hands of an unrelenting Tottenham Hotspur.

The scheduling gods didn’t smile upon Nottingham Forest when it came to their initial away journeys, as the Tricky Trees had to visit Stamford Bridge after already facing defeats on Arsenal and Manchester United’s grounds, although they didn’t go down without a fight.

Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley

Cooper’s squad came into the clash against the well-financed Blues following an early exit from the EFL Cup against this weekend’s opponents. However, there was no sign of a post-knockout slump from Forest, who handed Chelsea a familiar defeat at Stamford Bridge with a second-half goal from Anthony Elanga.

What to remember Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley

With inconsistency in their attacking performance and a concerning trend of conceding goals, Burnley’s upcoming visit to the City Ground appears poised to be yet another unfortunate outing for Kompany’s squad, despite their prior success in the EFL Cup against Nottingham Forest.

While Brennan Johnson may have moved on, Forest demonstrated against Chelsea that they don’t necessarily require the services of the Welshman, who is now with Tottenham Hotspur, to secure a win. They should confidently pursue their fifth consecutive home victory with ease.
