Burnley's relegation was confirmed with a loss to Tottenham, leaving Nottingham Forest with a slim chance to secure their Premier League spot by defeating Burnley and potentially overtaking Luton Town in the standings.

Currently, Burnley occupies 19th place in the Premier League after 37 matches, tallying five wins, nine draws, and 23 losses, totaling 24 points. Despite scoring 40 goals this season, their defensive struggles are evident, conceding 76 goals and managing only two clean sheets.

On the other hand, Nottingham Forest sits just above Burnley in 17th place, boasting eight wins, nine draws, and 20 losses, accumulating 29 points. Their attacking prowess shines with 47 goals scored, coupled with a more solid defensive record of 66 goals conceded and four clean sheets.

The upcoming match marks the 110th encounter between Burnley and Nottingham Forest, with Burnley slightly leading with 43 victories compared to Forest's 37, with 29 draws.

In their recent performances, Burnley managed one win, two draws, and two losses, while Nottingham Forest recorded one win, one draw, and three losses. Notably, Burnley's recent victory against Sheffield United showcased their offensive capabilities, while Forest's clash with Chelsea resulted in a narrow defeat despite a competitive performance.

Both teams are gearing up for the final showdown, with Burnley's squad facing some injury concerns, whereas Nottingham Forest seems to have a fully fit roster for the crucial fixture.

In the midst of a crucial match in the relegation struggle, it seems unlikely that either team will secure a victory this weekend. However, there's a good chance that Fofana will find the back of the net for Burnley.
