Newcastle v Nottingham Forest Tips, Bet Builder & Latest Odds
It’s fair to say that it hasn’t been the type of start to the Premier League season that either Newcastle United or Nottingham Forest would have planned.
Their exploits last campaign saw both sides reach European competitions, but just two wins in a combined 12 league matches so far have seen their expectations crash back down to earth.
For the Magpies, scoring goals has been the main problem. For Forest, conceding them.
Can either team use the other's questionable form to get a foot up and spring up the standings?
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of Sunday's clash in the North East.
Newcastle v Nottingham Forest Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of Sunday's clash at St James' Park.
Tip 1 – Newcastle/Newcastle HT/FT
We saw enough midweek to believe that Newcastle will have the upper hand in this encounter.
While Eddie Howe’s side were winning 4-0 away in Belgium — a club record in the UEFA Champions League — Ange Postecoglou was getting heckled by his own Forest fans losing 3-2 at home to relative Danish minnows Midtjylland.
Forest’s injury list is growing with Brazilian centre-back Murillo hobbling off in the first half and Ola Aina and Douglas Luiz still suffering, and after a slow start, expect the Magpies to click into gear this weekend.
Tip 2 – Nick Woltemade to score first
“Big Nick” as I’m sure he’s been called already in the Newcastle dressing room has bagged on his Premier League and Champions League debuts this season, and looks the focal point up front that Newcastle needed after losing Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
The German striker is a towering presence from set pieces but has also demonstrated his silky touch — did any one say “good feet for a big man”?
Forest looked woeful defending set pieces on Thursday night in the Europa League, and Woltemade will surely be handed a couple of opportunities to test Matz Sels in goal.
The mood is pretty low in the Nottingham Forest camp at the moment and with Postecoglou tripling down on his desire to play gung-ho football, Newcastle could make light work of this test.
Bet Builder – BTTS, Nick Woltemade 1+ shot on target, Anthony Gordon 1+ shot on target, Igor Jesus 1+ shot on target, Morgan Gibbs-White 1+ shot on target
For all of the concerns around Nottingham Forest, they still have a slew of attacking options with a manager at the wheel that likes to put his foot down on the accelerator.
We’re not thinking a 4-4 or a 5-5 here at St. James’ Park, but a free-flowing game that sees a lot of opportunities at goal wouldn’t be a surprise at all.
Nick Woltemade, Anthony Gordon, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White are all threats and should be the first few names on each team sheet, so to see them all involved with a shot on target in this game looks good at a healthy price of 10/1.
