Nottingham Forest vs. Newcastle Prediction
Historically, Newcastle have enjoyed going to Nottingham Forest and return with a good result – unbeaten in six away Premier League fixtures, with three wins and three draws. This season, however, Forest come into this matchup ahead of Newcastle in the standings for the first time since 1989. Forest’s defense has been one of the league’s best, with only Liverpool conceding fewer goals this season. That surge puts them third in the league as they try for a fourth consecutive win—what would be the first since 1995.
Newcastle finally stopped a five-game winless streak with a slim 1-0 win over top-four Arsenal last weekend. While that win should have the Magpies full of confidence, they face the tough task of trying to break down a defensive-minded Forest side.
Betting Tips for Nottingham Forest vs. Newcastle
Chris Wood to Score: Having scored a hat-trick against Newcastle last season, Wood is in top form with eight goals in ten games this season and, at 32, on track to break personal records.
Under 3 Goals: Both teams have been part of many recent low-scoring games. With Forest’s solid defense and Newcastle’s recent struggles to score more than once per game, a low-scoring affair is expected.
Draw or Forest Win: Given the recent momentum Forest have had at home, they stand a good chance of at least securing a draw or even better.
