The Premier League is back with a full set of weekend fixtures as we return to regularly scheduled programming to continue the month of February. There are so many things up in the air at both ends of the table but hopefully, in the weeks ahead, we’ll start to get a bit more clarity. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
Nottingham Forest Form GuideThere’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding Nottingham Forest right now. While there’s excitement stemming from Nuno Espirito Santo’s start as manager, they also have a possible points deduction hanging over their head. The priority is going to be staying in the Premier League, and they certainly have the quality necessary to end up in 17th or higher this season.
Forest needed to dig deep in their clash with Bournemouth and that’s exactly what they did. They went 1-0 down but clawed it back to 1-1, and they may feel as if they could’ve gone on to win it.
Newcastle Form GuideWhile things are certainly moving in a positive direction for Newcastle United Football Club, things haven’t been smooth sailing for Eddie Howe’s men this season. They’re currently lingering around mid-table and while there’s still a decent chance they could win silverware between now and the end of May, they need to make some big tactical adjustments.
If you needed any more proof that Newcastle have some work to do, all you have to do ist ake a look at their clash with Luton. It was seen as a game they should’ve won relatively easily but instead, they were held to a 4-4 draw by the underdogs.
Match PredictionForest can slug it out with the best of them when called upon and with an opponent like Newcastle waiting around the corner, we think it’s safe to say they’ll be up for it. The same goes for the Magpies, too, which is why we’re going to predict over 2.5 goals scored.
