As the final gameweek of the Premier League in 2023/24 approaches, Burnley faces Nottingham Forest in a crucial match.
While Burnley is already relegated, Nottingham Forest still has a slim chance of securing their Premier League status.
Match Preview
Burnley, already relegated, will take on Nottingham Forest, who have a slim chance of facing the same fate.
Forest sits three points ahead of Luton Town in 18th place with a significantly better goal difference, making a dramatic relegation unlikely.
Burnley’s relegation was confirmed last weekend after their 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Clarets have had a tough season, managing only five wins.
Despite their struggles, they’ll be looking to end on a high note, possibly moving above Luton Town and closing the gap on Forest if they secure a victory.
Nottingham Forest isn’t in stellar form either, having lost 3-2 to Chelsea in their last match.
However, their 3-1 win over Sheffield United prior to that all but ensured their safety, barring a highly improbable goal difference swing.
Forest has conceded 66 goals this season, with only teams in the bottom three and West Ham United allowing more.
Head-to-Head:
Earlier this season, Burnley and Forest drew 1-1 at the County Ground.
Zeki Amdouni scored for Burnley, but Callum Hudson-Odoi’s spectacular goal leveled the score.

Forest will also come prepared, knowing that a point or even a narrow loss will see them safe.
Prediction & Analysis:
For the final match, we predict Burnley will aim for a farewell win at Turf Moor, with over 2.5 goals scored. Forest, while likely safe, will face a Burnley side eager to end their Premier League stint with a victory.
