Nottm Forest vs Newcastle: Preview, prediction & team news

Nottm Forest vs Newcastle preview of the Premier League clash along with team news, predictions, lineups, and how to watch this match.

Newcastle United travel to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The Magpies will aim to secure another victory at the City Ground, where they defeated Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup only 74 days ago. With this game, Newcastle are looking to claim a fourth consecutive win at this stadium for the first time since 1922.

Can Nottingham Forest's Good Form Continue?

Nottingham Forest’s recent form has been impressive. Last weekend, they defeated West Ham 3-0, with Chris Wood scoring yet again, and long-range goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina. This was their third straight win, following recent victories over Crystal Palace and Leicester City. This is the club's first time winning three top-flight matches in a row since 1999. Nottingham Forest are currently third in the Premier League table, the highest they have been since 1988.

Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has led the team to a strong position, with just one loss this season. Forest will enter this game full of confidence and aim to keep their winning streak alive.

Newcastle’s Recent Form and Win Over Arsenal

Newcastle United sit in 11th place in the table, only four points behind Nottingham Forest. Last Saturday, they secured an important win against Arsenal at St. James’ Park. Alexander Isak scored the only goal of the match with a header from Anthony Gordon’s precise cross. This win ended a five-match winless run in the Premier League for Newcastle, though they recently knocked Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup, advancing to the quarter-finals.

Newcastle’s only away victory this season came in September against Wolves. The Magpies hope to improve their away form and secure three points on their visit to Nottingham.
