Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 04/24/26

Sunderland sit comfortably in mid-table and still have a chance to qualify for Europe this season ahead of the visit of relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Friday. The Black Cats had an unbeaten home record in the league not too long ago as they won 7 of their opening 12 games, drawing the other 5, but they’ve since suffered 3 defeats in their last 4 games.

Forest have managed to put a bit of distance between themselves and the relegation zone, thanks to a 4-game unbeaten run in the league, while they’re unbeaten in 7 across all competitions. The visitors still have some work to do to avoid the drop, however, and as the team in the far greater need of the points on Friday, they look good value to come away with the win.

A lack of fight has been an issue at times for Forest this season but they showed some heart to recover from falling behind at the weekend to hammer Burnley 4-1. Forest have impressed on their travels lately and they’re unbeaten in 4 away from home across all competitions. That run has included a draw at title chasers Man City, a resounding 3-0 win at direct rivals Spurs and a draw in Europe at Porto, and they look capable of claiming what could be a crucial 3 points at the Stadium of Light.
