Newcastle suffered a heavy 0:4 defeat as guests to Manchester City in the last round. Despite recently securing a cup final spot, they have three losses in their last four matches, including losing their last two home games in the Premier League to Fulham and Bournemouth. In their last six home matches in the league, there have been over 2.5 goals and they are in seventh place before the start of this round.
Nottingham lost their last two away matchesNottingham remains in third place and continues to perform well overall, despite losing their last two away games. They suffered their heaviest defeat in one of them, losing 0:5 to Bournemouth, but then responded even more emphatically - winning 7:0 at home against Brighton. Now they face a new away match, and last season, when they barely avoided relegation, they managed to defeat Newcastle 3:1 away.
Prediction: over 2.5 goalsPersonally, I see this as a tricky match. Both teams are capable of surprises and the game could go either way. However, I believe there will be goals, which is not unusual for both teams, so I am leaning towards over 2.5 goals being scored.
