Burnley vs Nottingham Forest betting tips and summary
Burnley to win or draw – Hold a good record over Forest, who have a new manager

Neco Williams to commit over 1.5 fouls – Good recent trend and should start
Nottingham Forest travel Burnley’s Turf Moor home on Saturday, as matchday five of the English Premier League continues.
It is the second of back-to-back home games for the hosts, as they look to recover from a heartbreaking loss to defending champions Liverpool last weekend.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah netted an injury-time penalty to down Burnley, who had been reduced to 10 players, after Lesley Ugochukwu was cautioned twice before seeing a red card.
It was an agonising defeat that cost the Clarets a valuable point in the early stages of their bid for English Premier League survival.
Manager Scott Parker will come against a new face in the Nottingham Forest dugout, as Ange Postechlou takes charge of his second English Premier League match at the helm.
After replacing Nuno Espírito Santo following a falling out with owner Evangelos Marinakis, Postecoglou’s first match resulted in a 3-0 loss to the rivals of his former club Tottenham – away at Arsenal.
His side will travel to South Wales, to play Swansea in the Carabao Cup Cup, before heading to Lancashire, on Saturday.
Forest are now winless since the opening day of the season and will be keen to get back on track with their UEFA Europa League Campaign right around the corner.
What are the best bets for Burnley vs Nottingham Forest?
Burnley to win or draw
The hosts hold a good record against Saturday’s opponents, who will have a manager in the dugout for only the second third time.

Burnley to be shown over 1.5 cards
This has happened in both of Burnley’s two latest matches and in two of the last three English Premier League matches between these two clubs.
Nico Williams to commit over 1.5 fouls
The Wales full-back has been carded twice already this season and this selection has landed in two of his last four matches.
