Murillo screamer, Yates’ moment, final-day nerves – Nottingham Forest run-in predicted

Latest Nottingham Forest verdict as finish line in sight for Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds in race for Champions League

An exciting finale could be on the cards for Nottingham Forest as the 2024/25 campaign enters its last few weeks.

The Reds are in the mix for Champions League qualification with six games left to play. They also have a Wembley date with Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup in their diary.

Successive Premier League defeats might have prompted a few nerves Trentside, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have already shown they are a determined and resilient bunch. With the finish line in sight, NottinghamshireLive looked into our crystal ball and predicted how the next few weeks will pan out.

No doubt the run-in will see a few more twists and turns yet as teams still have plenty of points to play for. Having been overtaken by Newcastle United and dropped to fourth in midweek, the Reds could be down to sixth by the time they take on Tottenham Hotspur on Monday (8pm kick-off).

The race to finish in the top five is going to be close. The dream scenario is for Forest to bounce back from their little blip, go on a winning run and clinch their place in next season’s Champions League with space to spare.
