Nottingham vs Manchester United 16.04.2023

Nottingham Forest’s return to the top flight hasn’t gone as they would have hoped. They are right in the thick of the relegation battle. 4 losses in the last 5 league games has seen them drop to 18th on the log tied on point with 17th-placed Everton but with a much worse goal difference. That defence has been porous all season, conceding 54 goals with only Bournemouth conceding more. They still have a puncher’s chance at survival which must include an improvement on that end of the floor.

Back-to-back wins over Brentford and Everton has seen Man United steady their ship a little bit after they experienced some turbulence right after winning the EFL Cup, including a 2-0 loss to Newcastle who they had beaten in the cup final. The Red Devils are in the hunt for a treble but the priority in the league remains a top-4 finish. That seems like a safe bet, but they must continue winning the games they should such as this one.

With United having played in midweek and Nottingham keen to keep things tight at the start, we expect a relatively slow start to the game which should then pick up in the 2nd half. As such we fancy the 2nd half of this game to have more goals than the 1st half
