Nottingham Forest - Newcastle United predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Newcastle United.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Newcastle to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

All things considered, Nottingham Forest will have been happy with their previous Premier League result. They had a tough trip where everyone predicted they would end up coming from bleeding but team from Nottingham held their ground both in the first and the second half to earn a point in a AFC Bournemouth HT/FT Draw.

A frustrating Premier League match is behind Newcastle. They were installed as firm favourites to beat Luton Town last time out - 1.49. Nevertheless, they failed to do so as they were forced to settle for a draw. Both at halftime and after the final whistle (4:4).

Forest have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Premier League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Newcastle’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Not only are they dangerously close to the relegation zone with 21 keeping them from the bottom-placed sides, but Forest are also in for a difficult challenge this Saturday. The Magpies are coming to The City Ground and will be looking to add insult to injury in what’s so far been a largely underwhelming campaign for the home team.

The visitors may seem to be favourites according to the odds, but the matchup’s history tells a wildly different story. They already clashed this season, and Nottingham Forest pulled off an impressive victory and a major upset as far as betting predictions go.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.45 odds are great value.
