Bet on Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest

Honours Even at St James’

Newcastle have had another solid season under Eddie Howe. United are in the mix for a top-four spot after taking 41 points from 25 league fixtures. They have won 12, drawn five, and lost eight.

Forest were in a relegation battle last term, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s troops have been the Premier League’s surprise package this season. The Reds are sitting pretty in third, winning 14 of 25.

Newcastle’s form has dipped, losing three of the last four in the Premier League. Last time out, United lost 4-0 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Before the recent slump, Howe’s boys won six Premier League matches on the spin.

Nottingham Forest also went on a six-game winning run in the league. However, they have suffered two defeats in three, losing 2-1 at Fulham last week. Can Nuno’s boys bounce back with a win at St James’ on Sunday?

They also met in the EFL Cup earlier in the season. The pair played out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground, with Newcastle going on to win 4-3 on penalties. Forest have won just one of the last six meetings.
