Nottingham Forest are in a good position to stay in the Premier League.

After Nottingham Forest’s 4-1 against Burnley, many now feel the Tricky Trees will have enough to retain their top-flight status.

Vitor Pereira’s side are sitting in 16th place, five points above Tottenham Hotspur, who are remarkably in the relegation zone.

But, there is certainly still more work to do for Nottingham Forest to be mathematically safe from dropping to the Championship.

With that said, we decided to see how Opta’s supercomputer are predicting the relegation battle.

Nottingham Forest predicted to finish well clear of relegation

The software has given Forest a 3.98% chance of going down, so clearly, the data is pretty certain they’ll be a Premier League side next season.

Looking at the fixtures, they should be targeting maximum points in at least two games; Newcastle United and Bournemouth at home.

The season can still go down as one of the best in the club’s modern history, as a Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa awaits.

Remarkably, there is still a chance for Forest to qualify for the Champions League, if, of course, they manage to win the Europa.
