Newcastle vs Nottingham Prediction & Tips
Both teams are at the top of the table and continue to fight for a place in European competitions. This season, the competition has intensified more than ever, as it seems that England will have five teams in the next edition of the Champions League. This means that there will be more vacant places and the battle for them will be even tighter.
Newcastle have an excellent opportunity to improve their position: a win in this match will allow them to reduce the gap to Nottingham Forest to three points, which will considerably increase their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
The ‘Magpies’ have already secured a place in the League Cup final, where they will soon face Liverpool for the trophy. In addition, Newcastle have advanced to the last 16 of the FA Cup. However, in the league, things are not going so well for the team. In the last four games, Eddie Howe’s side have only picked up three points thanks to a win against Southampton, who are clearly in crisis. In the other matches, the ‘Magpies’ were beaten by Manchester City, Bournemouth and Fulham, the last two defeats being at home.
Nottingham Forest, who were close to relegation last year, are showing a real renaissance this season and are competing confidently for a place in the top 5. The team has changed dramatically under Nuno Espírito Santo, who has managed to bring out the best qualities of his players.
However, despite their impressive results, their away form has slumped. The last two away games ended in defeats with a 1-7 aggregate score, highlighting the team’s defensive vulnerability without the support of their fans.
