Our Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest prediction lands on a Friday-night fixture where the promoted side can cap a remarkable season and the visitors, unbeaten in five, are quietly pushing their way out of trouble.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two teams with nothing but points to play for, and no obvious favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunderland sit 11th on 46 points after a surprise Premier League<\/a> campaign that has already secured safety; Forest are 16th on 36, still five points clear of the drop zone<\/a> but keen to tidy that up. The hosts beat Forest 1-0 at the City Ground in September, and won at Newcastle last month in the Tyne-Wear derby. The visitors just put four past Burnley and three past Tottenham away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 have Forest as narrow favourites at +155 with Sunderland at +162 \u2014 the market treating this as close to a pure coin flip, and fairly so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
