Nottingham Forest v Manchester United Preview & Betting Tips

Tuesday | 19:00 UTC | The City Ground

Fresh off FA Cup semi-final qualification, Nottingham Forest return to Premier League action on Tuesday night with Manchester United coming to town. The Tricky Trees held Brighton to a goalless draw at the weekend before winning on penalties- making it 4 straight wins across all competitions.

Forest have already toppled United once this season, securing a thrilling 3-2 victory at Old Trafford back in December. With confidence sky-high and home support behind them, Nuno’s men will believe they can do it again.

United Picking Up Momentum

Manchester United are no easy target, though. Ruben Amorim’s side are unbeaten in their last 7 matches in normal time across all competitions- and come into this one on the back of 2 consecutive wins.

Still, United sit 10 places and 17 points behind Forest in the league standings, and this midweek clash at the City Ground won’t be an easy one to navigate.

How the Bookies See It

Mega Dice have made Forest slight favourites at 2.32, with Manchester United available at 3.00. The draw could also tempt at 3.45.

Head-to-Head: Forest on Top in Recent Clashes

Forest’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford earlier this season turned heads. Goals from Milenkovic, Gibbs-White and Chris Wood powered them to an upset, despite a spirited fightback from United, who responded through Hojlund and Fernandes.

It was Forest’s second win in their last three meetings with the Red Devils- and another memorable night could be on the cards.

Players to Watch: Fernandes & Awoniyi in Focus

With Chris Wood sidelined through injury, Forest will look to Taiwo Awoniyi to lead the line. The Nigerian has stepped up before and will need to again on Tuesday night.

United’s Bruno Fernandes has been red-hot, scoring 4 goals and adding 2 assists in his last 2 matches. He’s a strong pick to get on the scoresheet again, and is priced at 3.75 to do so anytime.

Predicted Line-Ups

Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Awoniyi
Manchester United: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot; Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Zirkzee, Garnacho, Hojlund

Stephen’s Betting Angle

These two don’t hold back when they meet- 3 of their last 4 H2Hs have seen both teams score, and there’s been an average of 3.5 goals per game. I like the look of BTTS at 1.74 and Over 3.5 Goals at 3.30.

If you’re backing a goal scorer, Fernandes anytime at 3.75 is great value considering his recent form.
