Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 17th March 2023

Nottingham Forest welcome Newcastle Unitedon Friday in the Premier League, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 28 match.

Nottingham Forest are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Newcastle United but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Nottingham Forest scored ten goals, conceded 14 and fought their way to three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Newcastle United are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net eight times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.8 goals a game in which they conceded seven times, an average of 0.7 per game. They managed five clean sheets in of these.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, The Magpies came away as 2-0 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome this coming Friday.
