The Magpies are in a crisis, with them losing too many games in recent times. On the other side, Forest is equally poor, experiencing a negative stretch of their own. Both teams need to wake up, otherwise, they could fail miserably when it comes to fulfilling their goals.
Before Betting on Newcastle vs. Nottingham Forest
Eddie Howe’s crew lost five of the previous six meetings, with the only win coming against Fulham in the Premiership. Newcastle is eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, losing the decisive event at home to mediocre AC Milan, which is the ultimate proof of their crisis.
After that, the Magpies lost to Chelsea in the English Football League Cup, finishing their participation in another competition. What was even worse for Howe’s boys was that the elimination came following the penalties. It’s no wonder they looked deflated against Luton and lost that event as well.
Nottingham lost to Bournemouth at home, 2-3, following a rollercoaster event, in which they had a player fewer, then took the lead, allowed the rivals to flip the result, equalize before losing in the end, with Solanke posting a hat-trick and shutting down the City Ground.
This was the seventh event in a row for the former back-to-back European champions in which they haven’t won, and during this interval, Forest lost six times. On each but one occasion, those losses came with Nottingham allowing two or more goals, so we don’t need to explain too much that the defense is their biggest problem.

Nottingham has only five points away from home this year in nine outings. They had 19 goals conceded and are one of the worst defenses in such situations, so we have to bet on Newcastle. The Magpies’ performances at St. James’ Park are far better than those on the road, and this is a perfect moment for them to pull out of the crisis.
