[Tips]:
Sunderland A.F.C. lost their last match away from home, ending their winning streak and dealing a blow to morale.

They will return to home turf for this match, but their recent home performances have been less than ideal.

Their morale and form are at their peak.

The AH line does not favor Sunderland in this match, so Nottingham Forest are expected to remain unbeaten away.
