Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United Prediction: Expect a Draw?

In the first match of the second round of the championship of England Nottingham Forest will face Sheffield United. This game will begin on August 18. The favorite of the game is considered to be the team led by Steve Cooper, but the Foresters have a bad series in EPL games on Friday.

Nottingham Forest started the new season of the English Premier League with an away match against Arsenal London. They were considered clear underdogs in the pre-match but caused many problems for the favorite. At 0:2, the Foresters seized the initiative and reduced the deficit. In the end, they failed to snatch a draw at the Emirates - a 1:2 defeat.

The first opponent of the Blades after returning to the elite of the English club was another representative of the capital - Crystal Palace. Players Sheffield United failed to please fans with productive action; after the break, the club missed a goal from Edouard. In this duel, they made only one shot at the goalpost and three times fewer shots on goal than the London team (0:1).

The hosts of the field have an unfortunate statistic. In the last six matches of the championship of England on Friday, Nottingham Forest has three draws and three defeats. The Foresters are waiting for a tough match; the games between the teams in recent seasons turned out tense with many warnings. Here we expect an equal fight and passing statistics on corners; bookmakers give high odds on corners. We do not exclude that both teams will not reveal the strongest and will score the first point in the EPL season.
