Nottingham take on the visitors Burnley in the 1/32-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 30th at City Ground (Nottingham).
Nottingham Forest hasn't been surprising in the new season so far. The Reds managed to win only 1 out of 3 matches played. They were able to edge out the newcomer of the division, Sheffield United, on their home ground - Wood sealed the deal with a goal in the 89th minute, closing the score at 2-1. Prior to that, under Steve Cooper's guidance, they suffered a similar defeat to the London giants, Arsenal, with the same scoreline. It seemed that on Saturday, the underdogs could shock another favorite, Manchester United - they managed to score twice within the first 4 minutes. However, in the end, the Red Devils secured a resilient 3-2 victory, while the guests played with ten men after Worrell's dismissal in the 67th minute.

Burnley hasn't been able to secure any points since their return to the Premier League. The Clarets spent the previous season in the Championship. But the bet on Vincent Kompany paid off: the Belgian secured an early 1st place in that division. It seemed that the team's roster was being actively reinforced for their return to the Premier League - and this continued until the end of August when they spent around £16.5 million on Aaron Ramsey. However, they have yet to avoid a loss. Initially, the newcomer was defeated 0-3 by Manchester City, although their opponent was the reigning champion and country's favorite. But then, they failed to respond effectively at home against Aston Villa - the only notable action being Lyle Foster's first-season goal for his team.
The Clarets are on a 6-match streak without defeat - alternating between wins and draws. However, their last official match was played back in February 2016, in the Championship. Nottingham Forest might not be flawless, but they know how to get results against comparable opponents, especially at home. So, let's bet on a victory for The Reds.
Prediction for the match: Nottingham to win.
