Competition: Premier League

Watch Live: Sky Sports Main Event
Burnley head into the last game of the season with their fate sealed already. Relegated and returning to the Championship, they’ll be playing for pride and the potential to leapfrog Luton into the last relegation place, which would secure some extra income from their improved league placing.
We will have all the best football tips and predictions for the upcoming games as part our usual Premier League betting tips and Premier League accumulator predictions on Andy’s Bet Club, including new additions such as our both teams to score tips, and player shots on target tips.
As it’s the Premier League final day we’ve also tracked all the best Premier League final day betting offers and the best bet builder bookmakers, to ensure our readers are getting the best value for money.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, face a mathematical possibility of relegation by virtue of their four-point deduction but it would take a 13-goal swing. If you fancied a bet on this you’d be getting well into the hundreds to one.
So with this in mind, both teams will be fairly relaxed and could put on a show on the last day, which could lead to an entertaining if rather meaningless game.

⚔️ Burnley v Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head
Burnley have a very impressive recent record against Forest. Across all competitions, the Reds haven’t beaten them in their last nine attempts, with the Clarets winning four of those matches. The five draws suggest the contests have been close and in fact, their last five encounters have had under 2.5 goals.
The Clarets gave a good account of themselves in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in mid September. Zeki Amdouni and Callum Hudson-Odoi were the goalscorers that evening, in a match where neither showed their true potential in the final third.
📊 Burnley Form and Stats
Burnley come into this game with just one win in their last eight games. Home form doesn’t count for much either with just one win in their last ten games at Turf Moor. Unsurprisingly, given their impending relegation, they’ve struggled for goals all season, averaging just 1.08 goals per game and conceding 2.05. In fact, they’ve kept a clean sheet in just two of their Premier League home games.
📊 Nottingham Forest Form and Stats
Forest have one win in their last five games and just two in their last 13. Their games over the course of the season have gone over 2.5 goals 56% of the time but five of their last seven have gone over that line. They usually promise entertainment as the visitors, with just 11% of their away games ending in a Forest clean sheet and the Tricky Trees have scored in 67% of their matches on the road.
💰 Burnley v Nottingham Forest Best Bets
Unless someone shouts from the stands that Fulham are winning 10-0, Forest should be fairly relaxed during the game but also fairly unmotivated. Burnley will desperately want to finish the campaign on a positive note and to thank their fans for their support this season. Given their impressive head-to-head record against Forest in recent years and the context of the game, as well as Forest’s attacking threat, a bet of Burnley to win and over 2.5 goals at 3.51 with Paddy Power appeals at the odds.
On the goalscorer front, Chris Wood is due a return to form after a barren spell recently, but odds of 2.50 for him to score anytime don’t appeal. However, Callum Hudson-Odoi to score anytime at 4.20 with Paddy Power is more appealing, given his three goals in his last two games.
For Burnley, we also like a small play on Jacob Bruun Larsen to score first at 12.0 with Paddy Power. Rather extraordinarily, in the last four games he’s scored in, he’s opened the scoring and we’d rather take the bigger odds on him breaking the deadlock than the anytime market for some final-day fun.
