The Round 28 of the EPL, featuring a game between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, will begin at 8:00 PM (UTC) at The City Ground in Nottinghamshire. The Magpies defeated the Tricky Trees by a score of 2 nil in their previous game this season. This Friday, a thrilling soccer match is anticipated.
Key Highlights
The Magpies, who are now in fifth place on the standings, have been in excellent form this year, behind Tottenham by only 4 points. Newcastle is expected to go up to fourth place if they win their remaining games, a feat they have not achieved in the last 5 PL seasons.
Contrarily, Nottingham rank 14th on the league’s table. Unfortunately, their team has been in terrible form, having just six wins this season. In their other 20 matches this season, they either lost or drew.
Injury Reports
Doomsday is spelt for Nottingham this coming match as their top scorer, Brennan Johnson, and 9 others are currently injured. This implies that the team lineup will be extremely weak on Friday.
With their recently purchased player, Anthony Gordon, and two others injured, Newcastle still has a higher probability of winning.
Prediction
Newcastle United are more likely to be the First Team to Score this Friday, in The City Ground Stadium, with promising odds set at 1.52 (-161 American; 31/50 Fractional).
Reason: Given that Newcastle is in better form than Nottingham Forest, the Magpies have a strong chance of scoring first in the match. In nine of their last 11 wins, Newcastle were the first team to score. Thus, history seems to side with Newcastle in this fixture.
