Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle: Best Bet
- Choose: Nottingham Forest double chance
- Opportunities: +115 (BetMGM)
Newcastle United only play high-scoring games, which is why the Under are clear favourites. Given that, it could play into the hands of Nottingham Forest. You just have to score a goal.
In nine games that have ended under 2.5 goals since the end of the World Cup break, Forest have lost just two, with wins against Leeds, Leicester City, Wolves and Southampton and draws against Manchester City, Chelsea and Bournemouth. When games get out of control Nottingham Forest can’t keep up but playing Newcastle’s game will help Forest achieve a result.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle Prop Bet
- Choose: Supported by Kieran Trippier
- Opportunities: +270 (BetMGM)
Nobody in Europe needed an assist like Kieran Trippier until Aexander Isak finally scored and placed it in the back net against Wolves last time out. Trippier had gone eight Premier League games without one and amassed a staggering 4.05 assists expected before someone finally delivered up front.
Trippier takes set pieces for Newcastle and the Magpies had terrible finishing chances in dead-ball situations, leading to his massive difference between expected assists and actual ones. But now that Isak is back, that could change. He’s scored two header goals in just 536 league minutes this year and has presence in the air.
Nottingham Forest have also conceded seven goals from corners this year, behind only Bournemouth’s 13 and Aston Villa’s eight. They’ve also conceded seven headed goals, three under the league-high of 10.
