Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Preview
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest, unexpectedly in third place in the league table with 19 points, will want to ensure that this dream run continues for as long as possible.
This is the best performance the former European champions have displayed since being promoted to the Premier League in 2022/23.
Nottingham’s attackers are known to pass the ball well in the final third, and this gives them a lot of time on the ball whenever they find themselves in good positions. In the game against Newcastle United on Sunday, the Tricky Trees, led by veteran striker Chris Wood, will hope to get on the front foot early.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United are among the most improved sides in the Premier League ever since Eddie Howe took charge of them in November 2021.
This maverick coach has given his players the license to play a high defensive line and focus most of their attention on attacking as much as possible.

Under his guidance, Swedish striker Alexander Isak has flourished, and it has been equally joyful to watch the beautiful brand of football the likes of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have brought to England.
Newcastle’s defence may seem a bit shaky, given that fullbacks Lewis Hall and Valentino Livramento are still very young, but their overall defensive shape has helped them stay on the right side.

- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Newcastle United
Newcastle United come into this game with the confidence of having beaten their opponents Nottingham Forest. In fact, when the two teams clashed at the same venue earlier this year in February, Newcastle ran away winners by a 3-2 scoreline.
Overall, however, the head-to-head record between the two teams is nicely balanced, with Forest having won four and Newcastle five.

Forest, who scored eight goals in their last five matches, will feel that the home crowd will spur them on to put up a splendid showing in this game as well.
With Wood firing on all cylinders, it remains difficult to see how Newcastle’s defenders will contain their former teammate. The Magpies, who have scored four goals in their last five matches, will meanwhile be keen on adding to their tally.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Nottingham Forest to score at least one goal
- Odds: 1.3 (22Bet)
Nottingham Forest will score for certain in this game, given that their attackers have not blanked even once in their last four matches.
With Callum Hudson-Odoi and former Manchester United player Anthony Elanga also adding to their attack’s firepower, Newcastle will have a tough ask on their hands.

However, it is not all doom and gloom for the visitors. Although they have won just two out of their last five matches, Howe’s side will back themselves to go full-tilt at their opponents and try to win the battles in midfield.
If Tonali and Guimaraes manage to work on their positioning, the absence of Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett in defence will not hamper Newcastle’s plans very much and they should be able to find the back of the net at least once.
