Nottingham vs Newcastle: Match Preview and Prediction
Nottingham vs Newcastle: Nottingham Forest and Newcastle’s Matchday No. 24 match at The City Ground will complete Saturday’s exciting Premier League itinerary. In Nottingham’s last six league games, both teams have managed to score.
Newcastle earned only one win in six Premier League matches. Seven of their eight prior matches had both teams scoring. Newcastle will look to extend its three-game winning streak while Nottingham Forest needs points after losing two of their last three league games.
Just two points separate Nottingham Forest from the red zone. They only gained one point from their three prior league games. It happened six days earlier, in a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. At Vitality Stadium, the Reds put on a respectable display, as they were the superior team.
It appears like Newcastle has at last found its identity as an attacking team. In the last five games across all competitions, they have won three, drawn one, and lost one. Over the course of these matches, the Magpies have scored at least twice. They scored seven goals in the two preceding Premier League games.
Nottingham vs Newcastle: Betting Analysis
On Boxing Day, Nottingham Forest won the rematch against Newcastle 3-1 away. Unexpectedly, Chris Wood scored a hat-trick at St. James’ Park on that particular occasion. In their last four meetings, the teams have split their two victories. In seven of the previous eight head-to-head meetings, both teams scored.
Last Saturday, both sides displayed impressive attacking performances. At Vitality Stadium, Nottingham Forest had six shots on goal in a 1-1 tie. In a wild draw at St. James’ Park, Newcastle pushed four goals against Luton, but it was not enough to win.
Forest’s previous six league games saw both teams score. Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals FT were picks in Newcastle’s last five Premier League games. Since all but one of the previous eight head-to-head matchups between these rivals ended in goals, Both Teams To Score at 1.61 odds is our top pick.
Newcastle’s defence has struggled despite their recent offensive improvements. One win in six Premier League games for Newcastle. They won only two of eleven road league games this season. Since Nottingham Forest were impressive at Vitality Stadium the previous Saturday, we should back the home team at 1.80 odds.
