Nottingham Forest vs Burnley 30.08.2023 Prediction: EFL Cup

Match Overview

Nottingham Forest and Burnley clash in the second round of the English League Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup at the City Ground on 30 August, Wednesday. Both these teams, who ply their trade in the Premier League at the moment, will be keen on getting the better of the other by the end of the evening. Alas, there can only be one winner.

Key Highlights 

Burnley come into this game having lost the last three matches that they have played, against Mainz 05, Manchester City and Aston Villa. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, were also beaten by Manchester United over the weekend in the Premier League. Burnley, however, have not been beaten by Nottingham Forest in their last seven meetings with them.

Injury Report

Wayne Hennessey, Scott McKenna, Orel Mangala and Felipe are among some of the players of Forest who will not be available for selection in this game. Michael Obafemi, on the other hand, is the only player ruled out for Burnley.

Prediction

Neither Nottingham Forest nor Burnley appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. The former, who will feel that they can get the better of Burnley owing to their better run of form, will be put to the task by the strong Burnley defenders, who are known for their technical brilliance. We expect both teams to score (BTTS) in this game.
