Nottingham Forest vs Man United Tips

Tip 1

Both Forest’s and United’s recent performances suggest this should be a highly entertaining, but most crucially, goal-heavy match.

Amorim’s side have scored five in their last two away matches and 15 across their last six games in general, making it feel like they’ll be far more competitive than they would have a couple of months ago.

For Forest, five of their last eight league fixtures have produced over 3.5 goals. This bet has also landed in three of United’s last seven, with the 3-0 win over Leicester just missing out.

December’s meeting between the two also saw five goals scored, giving great appeal to the 49/20 on offer with BetMGM.

Tip 2

Bruno has netted 16 times this season, beating Matz Sels with a strike in United’s 3-2 home defeat to Forest back in December.

Currently, United’s skipper is a fine patch of form, having scored seven in his last six, which includes a Europa League hat-trick against Real Sociedad and a goal in each of his last two PL matches.

For the opposition, Callum Hudson-Odoi has impressed for the high-flying Tricky Trees, scoring five goals – two of which have come in his last four league outings.

CHO has struck against Man City, Newcastle United and Arsenal, showcasing his talents on stages when facing a high calibre of opponent.

Nottingham Forest Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Tricky Trees booked their place at Wembley for April in this season’s FA Cup semi-finals following a penalty shootout win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening.

Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that Chris Wood is a major doubt for Tuesday’s game due to a hip issue suffered during international duties for New Zealand. Morgan Gibbs-White will also be assessed after a heavy collision with the post last weekend, however, he is expected to be cleared for selection.

Nottingham Forest Predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, N Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Elanga.

Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Red Devils are likely to be the fresher of the two teams having last played on the 16th March when thrashing relegation threatened Leicester City 3-0 at the King Power.

Ruben Amorim is bolstered by the return of five players to training last week, as Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are now all available for selection; as is Patrick Dorgu who has served his domestic suspension. Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Jonny Evans all remain absent through injury.

Man United Predicted XI: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee.
