Nottingham Forest - Manchester United predictions

Nottingham Forest have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Manchester United. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

2.35 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Manchester Utd are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

After a mediocre first half in the previous round, Forest went on to bag a decisive 1:3 away win against Newcastle United . Such a result is nothing short of impressive considering the 9.00 betting odds they were given by most online bookies.

Manchester United’s previous home outing ended in triumph, but the road there wasn’t easy. Their opponents Aston Villa took the lead in the first half, leaving Manchester United on the back foot despite the initial 2.43 odds on a home win. Their luck was much better later on, though, resulting in a narrow 3:2.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Man. Utd is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

The hosts are starting to feel the heat 20 rounds into the Premier League campaign. Three places above the relegation strugglers, Nottingham Forest could very well find themselves in a tight spot after the Saturday match against Manchester Utd. With 3.10 betting odds, the top bookmakers online do not exactly give them great chances of winning and for a good reason too.

Man. Utd are currently sitting at number 6th in the standings after 20 total games. While not a particularly impressive result, it’s a solid starting point to move up the table. That said, they could still easily lose this match if they’re not careful.

The Red devils were the winners in the first match these two squads played, which happened earlier in the season. It was a rather narrow victory, but they’re still expected to triumph this Saturday despite playing as the away team.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.80, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
