Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

We're expecting an action-packed 90 minutes when Sunderland play host to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Friday night, as both teams still have plenty to play for this season.

Both teams have scored in four of Sunderland's last seven league games, and the Black Cats have managed only two clean sheets during that period. Sunderland have been hit-and-miss of late, securing three wins, one draw, and suffering three defeats in their last seven outings.

Over 2.5 goals have been produced in two of Sunderland's last three matches, with their weekend trip to Aston Villa proving to be a seven-goal thriller, which the Black Cats lost 4-3.

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last five league games, but three of those games have ended in stalemates.

The visitors have seen four of their last six matches end with at least three goals being scored, and Forest have scored at least two goals in three of their last five games.

Both teams have scored in four of Nottingham Forest's last six outings in the Premier League, with Friday's guests only managing to keep two clean sheets in their last seven attempts.

Sunderland got the better of Forest earlier in the season, but the visitors have form slightly in their favour this time around, so we're backing an entertaining 2-2 draw in this game.
