Match Preview

The home side have started the 2017/18 season in worrying fashion, losing two from two league games so far. The EFL Cup might very well provide a welcome distraction from the tribulations of Premier League football, something that is worth thinking about in our Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest betting tips below. The Magpies are yet to register a single goal in their opening domestic games, losing 2-0 and 1-0 to Tottenham and Huddersfield Town respectively.

Prior to this week’s Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest predictions, the away team beat former Premiership side Middlesbrough 2-1 to make it three wins from four Championship matches and four wins from five fixtures overall. Irish hit-man Daryl Murphy has hit three goals in his last three outings, making him one to look out for on Wednesday.

The teams split the points over two meetings in 2016/17, taking a win apiece in a brace of exciting match-ups. United have won three of the last four encounters between the sides overall.

Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Advice

Newcastle United to win @ 1/2 10Bet

First up in our Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest pick is a home victory. Rafa Benitez’s players would have identified Wednesday’s fixture as their most winnable match of the new campaign so far. Forest are in a good shape ahead of their trip to the north-west and they won’t make it easy. However, 10Bet’s price of 1/2 is a cracking offer for a top flight team playing at home with a club from a lower division, so take it while you can. 10Bet’s odds are the best around for our featured match, so we recommend you to use them alongside our football score predictions.

Over 2.5 goals @ 13/20 10Bet

There have been over 2.5 goals in four of Forest’s opening five fixtures and although they play an NUFC team that have yet to score in two tries, we should still expect goals on Wednesday. 10Bet’s odds of 13/20 for the goals to flow may not be the most enticing, but they are worth considering for your EFL Cup accumulator.
