To draw
I suppose that the hosts will be able to take points away from the favorite of the upcoming match. Manchester United will be a bit tired after Thursday’s European match, but the team will be mentally nervous as they were unable to maintain a two-goal lead (2-2 at the end). Finally, several top players are out injured, notably the defending duo Varane-Martinez, as well as the club’s top scorer Rashford.
Despite Nottingham being in the relegation zone, it’s not easy at home. Since October last year, they played 11 games at home in the championship, in which they had 4 “dry” victories and 6 more times there was a draw. Only 1 match against Newcastle has been lost in this series, with Magpies’ decisive goal coming in the 93rd minute from the penalty spot. In addition, Nottingham Forest managed to draw with Manchester City (1-1), Chelsea (1-1) and beat Liverpool (1-0) at home.
However, the Mancunians have only been able to beat Leeds (2-0) in their previous five home games in the Championship, with both goals coming in the final ten minutes. Once again, the team drew and lost three times with a combined score of 2:12.
