Nottingham Forest will take on Manchester United to close Sunday’s action of the Premier League 31st round. The home side hopes to stay up at the end of the campaign, while the visitors look forward to securing a top-four finish.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Team News
Nottingham Forest will want a better result here following a 2-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Aston Villa. The hosts are in terrible form after failing to win in the previous nine Premier League rounds. Nottingham Forest has been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, although they’ve also managed to score goals themselves. Looking at their last six games, Nottingham Forest has been punished defensively in 6 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches. Cheikhou Kouyaté (Hamstring Injury), Willy Boly (Hamstring Injury), Chris Wood (Hamstring Injury), and Giulian Biancone (Knee Injury) are unavailable for Nottingham Forest coach Steve Cooper.
Manchester United Preview & Team News
Manchester United will come into the encounter following on from a 2-0 Premier League win with the eclipse of Everton in their last match. It was the Red Devils’ second straight win that kept them in 3rd place. A succession of hard-working showings by the Manchester United defensive unit has resulted in their’ goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their last six outings overall. In that period, their forwards managed to score 7. Despite that, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend might be maintained in this next game or not. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has multiple availability issues to deal with. Alejandro Garnacho (Ankle Injury), Marcus Rashford (Unknown Injury), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) won’t be making appearances.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The visitors are in much better form, and they should exploit Nottingham’s poor performances. That’s why we believe Manchester United will return home with all three points in their pockets.
Goals Market Prediction
The home side failed to score in its last three h2h encounters against Man Utd this season. We believe that trend will continue, and the Red Devils should keep a clean sheet.
