Nottingham take on the visitors Sheffield United in the second leg of English Championship semifinal playoffs. The first leg result: 2-1. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 17th at City Ground (Nottingham)
Nottingham Forest settled in the Championship and were considered there as mid-table side. But in this draw, Steve Cooper's wards were unexpectedly good. They also surprised in the cup, having managed to overcome such opponents as Arsenal and Leicester (by the way, the current title holder), and only in the quarter-finals they lost to Liverpool, the future winner, and then due to the only goal of Diogo Jota on 78 minutes. At the same time, Nottingham Forest managed to show serious progress in the Championship. There, 80 points were scored - this is the 4th indicator, which ensured passage to the playoffs. And, most importantly, it turned out to be a good start there.

Sheffield United recently tried their hand at the Premier League. The picture turned out to be pretty standard: an unexpectedly good first season, and a complete failure in the next, with the dismissal of the hero manager, Chris Wilder. But, having returned to the Championship, and despite not the best start under Jokanovic, the Blades managed to break into the number of leaders according to the results of the draw. Having timely parted with Jokanovic, who did not prove himself, and made a full-fledged manager Paul Heckingbottom, the club, having completed the regular draw with 3 victories, was able to rise in the final standings in 5th place. In general, there was a chance to immediately return to the elite division of the country. Playoffs started with a defeat at home - Nottingham Forest scored twice on Saturday. And only Berge's ball, scored in the 91st minute, left at least some intrigue in the pair.
Sheffield United drew against Nottingham Forest in both head-to-heads in regular season. Sheffield United have lost Grabban, Lowe and Davies to injury, with Yates also in question. Nottingham Forest are left without even more players - McGoldrick, McBurney, O'Connell, Goode, Brewster and Bogle. Sheffield United are forced to take risks trying to make up for a home failure and the Foresters should take advantage of this.
Prediction for match: Nottingham to win.
