Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Prediction

Nottingham Forest Form

Showing inconsistent form, Nottingham Forest lost two of their past three matches, going down 0-3 against Chelsea, before beating FC Porto 2-0. The joy was short-lived, as Bournemouth proved too strong in a 2-0 defeat. Nottingham Forest just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the City Ground, Nottingham. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored five and conceded 11 goals.

Nottingham Forest entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Manchester United Form

In their last three matches, Manchester United first beat Sunderland 2-0, then Liverpool by 1-2 and finally Brighton by 4-2. Manchester United managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 13 time and letting in seven.

Manchester United were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the Premier League.

Form is currently close to disastrous for Nottingham Forest, and siding with Manchester United is a no-brainer, as it looks like a question of attempting to minimize the defeat for hosts.

Nottingham Forest fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last three games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in six goals. Manchester United recorded four points following one wins from their last two games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored four goals, but also conceded three. Nottingham Forest have a record of one win, two draws and six defeats in the Premier League this season. Manchester United have a record of five wins, one draw and three defeats in the Premier League.
