Goals Galore at the City Ground
Nottingham Forest initially benefited from the arrival of the new manager when Nuno Espirito Santo took over Steve Cooper. However, that has cooled in recent weeks. Forest are now without a win in their last six competitive matches, with just two points keeping them above the drop zone.
Forest have scored in all four of their home matches under Santo, and there has been an average of 3.75 goals in those games.
That is why the first of our Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle predictions is for at least three goals in the match, with both teams finding the net. This is available via bet9ja’s combined markets, where we can bet GG and over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.91.
Bet 1: GG & over 2.5 goals @ 1.91 Bet9ja
Magpies Hunt for Victory
Newcastle have struggled on the road this season. The win over Aston Villa was just their second away win of the season, but there was a lot to like about that performance. Eddie Howe’s side managed to secure Champions League qualification last season. Yet, they need to win games such as this one if they are to repeat that feat.
I’m betting Newcastle to come out on top at odds of 2.02 with Bet9ja. Forest conceded an average of 0.19 more goals than they have scored at the City Ground in the Premier League. They have lost five of their last six home matches in the league and lost this fixture 3–2 last season.
Bet 2: Newcastle to win @ 2.02 Bet9ja
Newcastle Pressure Will Tell
We are focusing on the corners market for the next of our Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle predictions.
The stats from the most recent head-to-heads suggest the visitors should dominate the corner count. They had eight more than Forest when these sides met earlier this season. Eddie Howe’s men had four more than their opponents the last time they visited the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest average 2.5 fewer corners per game than their opponents across their six home league matches. This is against the sides who are currently in the top half of the Premier League. We can bet Newcastle to have two more corners than the home side at odds of 2.03 with Bet9ja.
Bet 3: Newcastle -1 corners handicap (home +1) @ 2.03 Bet9ja
Bruno Set For Battle
The head-to-head between these sides at St. James’s Park earlier this season was a feisty one. Both teams picked up three yellow cards, so we are backing Bruno Guimaraes to be carded.
The Brazilian has operated at the base of Newcastle’s midfield this season and is not afraid of committing a foul to disrupt opposition attacks.
Bruno commits an average of 3.1 fouls per 90 minutes played in the Premier League. This is also reflected in the number of cards he has picked up. With nine cards received, he is the most penalised player in the division. Fulham’s Joao Palhinha shares the same title.
Bet 4: Bruno Guimaraes to be carded @ 2.75 Bet9ja
