Burnley have only kept two clean-sheets across their last 10 competitive games
Nottingham Forest have lost their last three games, conceding nine goals during that run
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping it is third time lucky as he goes in search of his first win as Nottingham Forest head coach when his side visit Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
After succeeding Nuno Espirito Santo in the Forest dugout last week, Postecoglou has seen his side comprehensively beaten by Arsenal in the league before they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in dramatic fashion by Championship Swansea during the week.
A trip to Turf Moor will not be easy for Forest, Burnley having already beaten fellow newly-promoted side Sunderland on home soil this season, while it took a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah to deny them a point when reigning champions Liverpool came to town last weekend.

Team news
Burnley remain without the services of injured trio Jordan Beyer (thigh), Connor Roberts and Zeki Amdouni (both knee), while winger Jacob Bruun Larsen is a doubt with the knock he picked up over the international break.
Lesley Ugochukwu will also sit this one out following his sending-off against Liverpool.
Ola Aina (hamstring) and Nicolas Dominguez (knee) are both unavailable for Forest, while Murillo was forced off with a knock in the loss at Arsenal and remains a doubt.
Chris Wood should lead the line for the visitors against his former club, but summer signing Igor Jesus could come into Postecoglou's thinking after his two-goal haul against the Swans.
The stats
Both teams have scored in six of the last seven league meetings, including the most recent encounter which ended in a 2-1 victory for Forest at Turf Moor in May 2024.
Burnley's narrow defeat to Liverpool last weekend was their first home loss in any competition since Forest's last visit.
Forest are bidding to win back-to-back league away games against Burnley for the very first time.
The Tricky Trees have conceded three goals in each of their last three games and are without a clean sheet in 14 matches across all competitions, a run that stretches back to the start of April.

Prediction
It has not been the start to life at Forest that Postecoglou would have been hoping for, but there were signs of encouragement despite the cup defeat to Swansea, as they ended the match with an xG of 2.83 to their opponents' 0.72.
Conceding goals has been an issue for Forest, but they should certainly create plenty of chances at the other end, although it is difficult to trust them to secure a first win under Postecoglou this weekend.
Burnley may have lost three of their opening four league games, but there were positives to take from those defeats to Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool, the latter two of which only came about after they conceded goals in second-half stoppage time.
Liverpool were the first team to stop the Clarets scoring on home turf since January and Scott Parker will expect his side to get on the net against Forest, although keeping the visitors out at the other end may prove tricky.
With both sides fancying their chances of victory, this could prove an open contest featuring at least three goals.
