City Ground

Nottingham Forest are all set to take on Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday at the City Ground. The Tricky Trees are flying high after demolishing West Ham by 3 goals to nil in their last home game. Chris Wood opened the scoring with Hudson Odoi and Aina adding to it after Alvarez was sent off.

Newcastle United made it two successive home wins against Arsenal, as Alexander Isak’s goal was the difference on the day. Anthony Gordon’s cross in the first half fell perfectly to the Swede, who headed it past Raya in goal.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head record between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United has narrowly favoured the team from Tyneside. In the last 12 games in all competitions between these two teams, Nottingham Forest has won 5 games; 1 game ended in a draw, with Newcastle United winning 6 times.

Newcastle United will face one of their biggest tests as they will face a Nottingham Forest team that is full of confidence. Winning 3 games in a row will be a big morale boost for the Tricky Trees going into this one. The atmosphere at the City Ground is in high spirits, which is bound to act as a spring for the home team on Sunday. Forest have to vary, however, as they have slipped up against Fulham this season, already losing by a goal to nil. Newcastle United have got back Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, who have the ability to hurt the best of defences.

Nottingham Forest needs other players to step up in terms of scoring. Their overreliance on Chris Wood could hamper them in some games. Newcastle United have a good defence capable enough to shut down the best of attacks like they did against Arsenal last week. This is going to be a cagey affair, but we believe Nottingham Forest’s recent form gives them the narrowest of chances to win this game.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Predictions and Betting Tips

The oddsmakers have labelled this tie between Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest as a very close one. The gap between the Tricky Trees and the Magpies in terms of their odds is very narrow, with the latter being the slight odds-on favourites to win on Sunday. In terms of the two teams, there isn’t much to split because Newcastle United have a good overall record against Forest; however, Nottingham Forest has the better recent form going into this game. Newcastle United do have the slight backing of the oddsmakers due to them having the status of being the better side. However, one cannot take Nottingham Forest for granted, as they sit 3rd in the Premier League.

The Tricky Trees have not performed that well at home when it comes to their overall record this season. Hence they are slight underdogs; however, in their last 2 games at home, they have done exceedingly well. Nuno’s men drew their first two home games against Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers. They then lost to Fulham, which raised eyebrows; however, recent wins against Crystal Palace and West Ham United have brought them right back into the fold.

Newcastle United have not done well away from home this season. Their record away from St. James’ Park needs massive improvement. The Magpies have won just 1 of their first 5 away games going into this one. The win came at Wolverhampton Wanderers. They have lost to Chelsea and Fulham and have drawn against Bournemouth and Everton.

Based on the above numbers, here are our predictions and tips for this game. Our call is for Nottingham Forest to edge past Newcastle United in this game. We expect Nottingham Forest to score 2 or more goals in this game. We do see this game being a high-scoring encounter; hence, our call is for both teams to score a combined tally of over 2.5 goals. We expect Nottingham Forest to score 2 or more goals in this game. Nottingham Forest averaged a scoring rate of 1.2 goals per game, with Newcastle United conceding an average of 1.4 goals away from home. We also envision Newcastle United getting a goal in this game, as they do have the attacking talent with the likes of Isak. In terms of the defensive stats, we do not expect either the Tricky Trees or the Magpies to get a clean sheet in this game. Newcastle United have scored at least one goal in 4 of their last 5 away games. Nottingham Forest have also scored a goal in 4 of their 5 home games. Newcastle United have the attack to breach Forest’s defence, and so do the home team.

In terms of players to score for Nottingham Forest, we have to back Chris Wood to go into this game as the favourite to score. The Kiwi International has proven to be one of the best strikers in the Premier League this season. He scored 8 goals in 10 games for Nuno this season. Nottingham Forest until now has scored 14 goals in total this season, out of which 8 are from Chris Wood. This shows how important the Kiwi International is for Nottingham Forest. The main reason to bank on Chris Wood is his conversion rate. The striker does not need many chances to score. Wood has scored 8 goals this season from just 21 shots with a 38.1% conversion rate. This is the best tally any player has in the Premier League who has at least attempted 20 shots or more.

Alexander Isak goes into this game in great form, having netted in each of his last 2 games against top teams in Chelsea and Arsenal. Isak is Newcastle United’s talisman, and they look much better when he is playing. The other reason for backing Alexander Isak in this game is for his good record against Nottingham Forest. Isak has 3 goals in his last 2 games against the Tricky Trees in the Premier League. Against only Tottenham and West Ham, he has a better goal-scoring record with 5 goals each.

Newcastle United’s centre-backs Dan Burn and Fabian Schar are walking a tight rope this season when it comes to yellow cards. Both defenders have 4 yellow cards to their name and are 1 card away from being suspended for a game. Forest has quick wingers in Elanga and Hudson-Odoi who we believe could exploit them. Newcastle United’s left-hand side looks weaker in terms of their defence; hence, we do see Dan Burn getting a booking in this game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Nottingham Forest

This game is a highly difficult encounter to call, and even the oddsmakers have placed the odds accordingly. Newcastle United hold a slight advantage due to their good away record at the City Ground. However, Nottingham Forest, this season has been a beast when it comes to their performances. They did not start with the best of performances at home; however, in recent games, they have shown that they are brilliant in all areas of the game. Newcastle United come into this with a big win against Arsenal; however, question marks still remain over their away form. Nottingham Forest last season ended up demolishing Newcastle United at home, showing that they can beat the Magpies on their day. Hence we will back the home team in Nottingham Forest to win this game on Sunday. The odds being so close show that it could be anyone’s game; however, Nottingham Forest is the team to beat at the moment. Our score prediction is a 2-1 narrow win for the Tricky Trees.
