Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley Betting Preview

Nottingham Forest Preview

The EFL Cup was a good competition for Forest last term. As the East Midlands side managed to make it through to the semi-finals stage before being eliminated by Manchester United.

Another cup run could be likely for Cooper’s side this term, as they have started the season in a competitive fashion. Their only two defeats have been suffered in testing matches on the road against Arsenal and Man United, but they got their home campaign off to a strong start with a narrow victory over Sheffield United a few weeks ago.

Burnley Preview

Vincent Kompany is likely to make wholesale changes to his team for the soccer matches this week, as Burnley’s main aim remains ensuring their top-flight status.

A number of fringe players will be given their opportunity at the City Ground, and a first domestic win of the season could raise morale ahead of their final Premier League fixture before the international break on Saturday. But, Burnley’s inability to find the back of the net would be a pressing concern, as they have scored just once in their opening two matches this term.
