Sunderland have been in good form lately, winning two of their last five matches and drawing the other two. They look solid at the back in recent games. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have been a little more inconsistent, with just one win in their last five, along with two draws and two losses. They have struggled to pick up momentum away from home.

The last two times these teams have met, Sunderland have won both, and those matches had plenty of goals — including a big 5-0 win for Sunderland most recently. Given that and Sunderland's stronger recent run, this match looks likely to go in their favor. Expect Sunderland to come out on top.
