England Premier League

(200105) Nottingham Forest at (200106) Sheffield United

All the pressure on Nottingham here to deliver a result and the price on them to win has shifted quite a bit since the opener where they opened as -0.5 favorites which has now ballooned all the way to -1.0.  All rightfully so as Sheffield has been relegated and have nothing left to play for while Nottingham continue to fight to stay above the relegation line.

While I agree it's probably Nottingham or nothing when it comes to the side, I do think Sheffield can score.  Now that their fate is sealed, it may free them up to play without much worry on the field.  Plus, Sheffield will have Oliver Arblaster on the field, already named as captain for the final two matches.  The 20-year old was on loan the first part of the season but has been playing regular minutes over the last two months, seemingly getting better each time on the field.  

In eight matches he has started, Sheffield has scored in all but one as their offense has looked better with him involved.  Defensively they still stink and likely concede multiple goals, but I'm expecting another good performance from Ollie to help his team find a goal and build some optimism as the look ahead to next season in the Championship, where he can really develop and bring his team right back to the EPL.

TAKE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE + OVER 2.5 GOALS
