Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. We're looking at Burnley going up against Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest with their goalie Matz Sels riding a bit low with a 6.70 rating and 11 saves, compared to Burnley's Arijanet Murić, practically a wall with an 8.40 rating and 33 saves. Sizeable difference there, folks.
Running through Forest's lineup, you'd do well to keep your eye on Hudson-Odoi, who's been on fire lately with a 7.58 rating, bagging 3 goals and an 85.0% accurate pass percentage. Willy Boly's another sturdy figure, though perhaps more defensive with a 75.8% accurate pass percentage and one goal.
Quick glance over to Burnley and you've got Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon to watch for, with the former netting 2 goals and the latter notching up one. Burnley's overall pass accuracy seems to be a tad higher, with Sander Berge boasting a stellar 92.1% figure though no goals to his name, yet.
Their last face-off was a stalemate, if memory serves right. Nottingham 1, Burnley 1. Looking at the records, Nottingham Forest edges ahead with 8 wins over Burnley's 5, although both teams have seen more losses than they'd care to admit.
Recent match-ups have been a bit of a roller coaster for both sides. Forest's recent waltz with Chelsea was a narrow loss, and they've had their fair share of triumphs and defeats. Burnley on the other hand has been embracing a similar pattern, taking hits from Newcastle United and Tottenham.
Let's not fool ourselves here, this isn't going to be a walk in the park for either team.
After considering the players, the keepers, the records, and the recent performances, getting a clear winner is like trying to find a raindrop in a storm.
