Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th May 2024

With relegation now confirmed, Sheffield United will look to drag Nottingham Forest down with them as they host the Tricky Trees at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Sheffield United seemed to be brimming with purpose as they came swinging out of the gates last weekend against Newcastle United. They landed the first blow as early as the fifth minute and kept plugging away to back the Magpies into a corner.

However, after failing to convert a couple of golden chances, things quickly went downhill for Chris Wilder's men. Once Eddie Howe's men sorted their feet out, there was no looking back for them and Sheffield eventually succumbed to a humiliating 5-1 loss.

Sheffield are now confirmed to finish 20th in the Premier League and have become the first team to suffer the drop this term.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest went down with a fight against Manchester City last weekend. They made a meal of a few glorious opportunities to lose the game 2-0.

Sitting only a point clear of the relegation zone, Forest will be desperate for a win against Sheffield on Saturday. Forest have failed to win their last four league matches, losing three and drawing one.
