Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Sunderland won 1-0 in Nottingham and are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings against Forest. Their last three meetings have gone under the total, with just one total goal in each game.
In this Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Nottingham Forest is coming as +145 road favorites. Forest has been undefeated in its last six games, having won four of them, while Sunderland has been struggling at home, with a 1-3 record in its last 4 home games. Forest is just 5 points above the relegation zone and need every win they can get and have also been in far better form than Sunderland, so I expect them to get the job done on the road today. Take Nottingham Forest on the moneyline.
