Nottingham Forest Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 11-9-15
  • Home Record: 4-6-7
  • Road Record: 7-3-8

Vitor Pereira would have been frustrated following a poor display from his Nottingham Forest side in midweek, as the Tricky Trees were emphatically dumped out of the Europa League by Aston Villa.

However, Forest’s league form had been reliable before that no-show, winning three straight matches, which included an excellent 3-1 win at Chelsea. Morgan Gibbs-White is unlikely to feature again this season due to a serious head injury picked up against the Blues, and his creativity will be a major miss for Forest.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Sels (GK); Aina, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Jesus, McAtee; Wood

Newcastle Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 13-6-16
  • Home Record: 9-2-7
  • Road Record: 4-4-9

Eddie Howe eased the pressure on his shoulders last weekend, as Newcastle ended a losing run with an excellent 3-1 home win over Brighton. However, the Magpies have struggled on the road throughout the season, with only Wolves and Sunderland scoring fewer away league goals.

Newcastle have also failed to score in seven different fixtures on their travels this season, which is their most since the 2020-21 season.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-3-3): Pope (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Osula, Barnes

Head-to-Head Trends

  • Nottingham Forest have won just one of their previous 15 Premier League fixtures against Newcastle, losing nine of the last ten.
  • Newcastle have avoided defeat in their seven EPL trips to the City Ground, winning each of their last four.

Nottingham Forest vs. Newcastle Prop Picks

William Osula has made the number nine position his own for Newcastle in recent weeks, and he has scored a goal every 119 minutes. His recent form ensures that he is among the standout prop picks, as Osula has scored four in his last six.

Nottingham Forest vs. Newcastle Picks

Nottingham Forest’s confidence will be low following a damaging midweek defeat. Meanwhile, the fact that they will be without their most creative player, Gibbs-White, is hard to overlook. Therefore, Newcastle look like a value to play to record a fifth straight win at the City Ground.
