Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest betting tips and summary

Both teams to score – strong H2H record

Nick Woltemade to score – in good form

Over 2.5 cards in the match – strong trend in NUFC matches

Newcastle will make their third-consecutive Super Sunday appearance when they host Nottingham Forest in the 2025/26 English Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies endured more stoppage-time heartbreak in their latest match, as Arsenal came from behind to inflict their second loss of the season.

Club record signing Nick Woltemade saw his second goal in black and white cancelled out by former Newcastle midfielder and late-substitute Mikel Merino, before Gabriel headed home the winner in the 96th minute.

It is the second time this season that Newcastle have lost a match in stoppage-time and after three 0-0 draws away from home and one win in six matches so far this season, they sit 15th in the English Premier League table.

Manager Eddie Howe’s side smashed Union St.Gilloise in their second UEFA Champions League match of the season on Wednesday night, so will be in high spirits before welcoming Forest this weekend.

Nottingham Forest have made an underwhelming start to a campaign in which they will play UEFA Europa League football.

They are winless since the opening day of the campaign, with new boss Ange Postecoglou overseeing two English Premier losses and a draw during his time at the club.

A disappointing loss at home to newly-promoted Sunderland followed a 2-2 draw away to Real Betis, in their opening UEFA Europa League match.

Forest are one point above the relegation zone and the 3-2 home defeat to Midtjylland in Europe on Thursday night has just piled more pressure on Big Ange.
