Match Preview

Newcastle and Nottingham Forest will both be looking to get their seasons back on track when they lock horns in the Premier League this weekend. The Magpies will have the important home field advantage, but their overall recent form would be a concern. They come into this weekend after suffering defeats in each of their last two, and three of their last four in the league.

Nottingham Forest remain third in the Premier League standings, but they are now six points adrift of Arsenal. The Tricky Trees also only have a four-point cushion to fifth-place Bournemouth. Forest have lost two of their last three matches, which includes a loss on the road against Fulham last Saturday.

Newcastle boast the superior record based on the previous meetings, as they have suffered just one Premier League defeat in the last 13 against Forest. That defeat was suffered in this exact fixture last term. However, the Magpies have still won nine of the last 13 clashes between the sides.

Forest’s win in this fixture last season ended a seven-game losing run at St. James’ Park. But, they haven’t won on successive visits to Newcastle since October 1988. Their away form in recent weeks would also be a concern ahead of this showdown after losing each of their last two on the road.

Newcastle’s home form will also be a concern. The Magpies have suffered back-to-back defeats in front of their home fans. However, the club haven’t lost three in a row at home since February 2021.
