Newcastle United – Nottingham Forest

The favourite of the match will easily prove his advantage.

A match between representatives of England in European competitions will take place in Newcastle. However, regarding Nottingham Forest, this status sounds quite 'loud'. From the very beginning of the season, the 'foresters' do not resemble themselves. To a large extent, what is happening with the team now is a man-made process by the club's management. Last season, Nottingham fought for a place in the Champions League zone but could not compete with Newcastle, Manchester City, and Chelsea. The new season started with an impressive victory over Brentford. After the third matchday, the Greek president of Nottingham Forest sacked Nuno Espírito Santo, the main creator of the club's success last season. The Portuguese was replaced by Postecoglou, under whose leadership Tottenham won the Europa League last season but finished seventeenth in the Premier League. Judging by what is happening within the 'foresters', Nottingham Forest seems to have a similar target for the current season. Just without a victory in the European tournament. Bookmakers have made the home team the favourites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.56 for their victory. Newcastle United has no plans to sack the creator of its successes anytime soon. Despite a tough start to the season, Eddie Howe enjoys maximum trust in the 'Magpies' camp. The first month and a half of the football year brought Newcastle three defeats, but in these matches, they faced Liverpool, Barcelona, and Arsenal. That is to say, clubs among the strongest in Europe. Each of them defeated the 'Magpies' by a narrow margin, and crucial goals from the English top clubs were conceded within seconds of the final whistles. On Wednesday, Newcastle travelled to Belgium for a Champions League match, where they scored four unanswered goals against Union Saint-Gilloise. This result indicates that luck has finally turned towards the 'Magpies'. Nottingham Forest lost their Champions League match on Thursday. At home, the 'foresters' could not cope with Danish team Midtjylland. This is the team's second defeat in a week and the eighth game without a win in a row. Nottingham Forest, to put it simply, is falling apart. For the 'Magpies', this is a suitable opponent at home to please their fans.
