Nottingham Forest - Newcastle United betting tips and odds

There is a big reason why Nottingham Forest are given 5.50 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Newcastle United and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

Having a 1.70 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with The Magpies largely expected to beat Nottingham Forest, you’d be wise to use it.

Tricky Trees’s previous Premier League match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Tottenham Hotspur . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 8.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:1 result before the end.

There’s not a lot that can be said about Newcastle’s previous performance because the whole affair was rather predictable. An early lead allowed them to stroll their way to a comfortable 2:1 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The first step team from Nottingham need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Tricky Trees head into a difficult part of the Premier League season. Three places clear of the relegation zone, they need to keep their guard up until the very end if they want to stay in the league. Challenging times are ahead of the hosts, starting with their Friday clash against The Magpies.

Heavily priced to ease to victory this Friday, Newcastle are looking to justify the 1.70 price offered at bookies and earn three points that would be a big boost in their run for the Champions League finish.

The Magpies won the home game they played against Tricky Trees earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 4.00 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
