Forest On The Verge of Double against Newcastle This Weekend?

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United - 10/02/2024

3675

Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United will meet once again in the Premier League this weekend and Forebet is here to hand you the latest in data, trends and mathematics from these two sides.

This game comes just over two months after a stunning win for Forest over at St. James’ Park against Newcastle.

In what was Nuno Espirito Santo’s first away game with the club, he guided his new team to three points thanks to a first-ever Premier League hat-trick from Chris Wood.

The former Newcastle striker was at his very best that afternoon, scoring with all three of his shots on target.

Since that win, form has been quite topsy-turvy for Nottingham, but they are now into the FA Cup fifth round against Manchester United after a 1-1 draw once again with Bristol City was ended with Santo's men winning on penalties.

Forest have also managed to draw with Blackpool 2-2 in the FA Cup before beating them in a third round replay and two replays in the FA Cup means Forest have played more games in 2024 than any other Premier League side with seven games already in the five weeks of the year.

On the other hand, there is no league win in this run with losses to Brentford and Arsenal and a draw with Bournemouth.

The trend of no clean sheets continued for Forest in the FA Cup replay in midweek too, and it now means just one clean sheet since a 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa all the way back in November.

This also means the data shows 41 goals let in for the club in the 23 Premier League games, and with just a gap of two points on the relegation zone, there continues to be concerns for fans at the County Ground.

As for Newcastle, their form hasn’t exactly improved either since the last game against Forest.

The Magpies continue to sit way adrift of the Champions League spots as a result, and a gap of 13 now on fourth place likely means no return to the Champions League for next season.

Newcastle have also now won the same amount they have lost with 10 on the board in either margin.

Newcastle drew 4-4 with Luton Town at home last time out in a stunning match that saw them go behind on two occasions before Harvey Barnes returned to action with a goal.

Forebet predicts a win for Forest and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
