Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd betting tips and summary
Man Utd to win or draw – in far superior form
Both teams to score – good H2H trend
Bryan Mbuemo to have over 0.5 shots on target – strong trend this season
The City Ground will see an out of form Nottingham Forest side host a resurgent Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Forest’s new manager Sean Dyche will take charge of his first EPL home match in his new job. He is now the third manager to take charge of Forest this campaign, in what has been nothing short of a circus so far this season.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has been the subject of widespread scrutiny following his decision to sack Nuno Esipirito Santo, following his successes in securing a Europa League place, though through a technicality, last season.
His successor, Ange Postecoglou, failed to win any of his eight matches in charge and after defeat in Dyche’s first match away to Bournemouth, the club sit 18th in the English Premier League table.
Life doesn’t get any easier as they face a Manchester United side who have recorded three consecutive EPL wins for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim.
Things finally seem to be clicking at Old Trafford, with United now sitting sixth in the table, a stark contrast to how they ended last season – in 16th place.
The Red Devils have won five of their last seven English Premier League matches, following a winless start in their opening three matches – including an embarrassing loss to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.
What are the best bets for Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd?
Man Utd to win or draw
The Red Devils are in far superior form to their opponents and Amorim will be keen for his side to sustain this momentum against a side who can’t seem to do anything right at the moment.
Both teams to score
Three of the last five head-to-head matches between these two sides have seen this selection land.
Bryan Mbuemo to have over 0.5 shots on target
The 26-year-old attacker scored three goals in his last two matches for Manchester United, whilst this selection has landed in five of Mbuemo’s last six EPL appearances.
