Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
Not so long ago, Nottingham Forest was fighting for second place in the Premier League with Arsenal, but they slowed down a little, the Londoners went into the gap by six points. Moreover, Manchester City has come close to the foresters, who are only one point behind and will beat their competitor if they win today. We also remember that Chelsea is in fourth place, two points behind. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, after this round, the Nuno Espirito Santo team may leave the top 4.
For three rounds, Nottingham Forest cannot win – two defeats and a draw. Nevertheless, the team was not ready to fight at such a high level over a long distance, there is no margin of safety, first of all, in terms of the depth of the squad. First, the foresters lost to Fulham (1:2), and then to Newcastle (3:4). Both matches were held on the road. A goalless draw with Arsenal was recorded at home in the previous round. As you can see, reliable defense began to fail more and more often.
On the positive side, we have managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. However, the victory over Ipswich turned out to be too unconvincing – only in the penalty shootout it was possible to break the resistance of one of the obvious outsiders of the Premier League.

Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester City left the Champions League, by all accounts lost to Real Madrid. Now, in fact, it is possible to compete for the trophy only in the FA Cup, since in the Premier League the gap from the leading Liverpool is 20 points. Just in the Cup, in the last game, the townspeople beat Plymouth in the class (3:1). According to the results of the first half, the score was 1-1 in that meeting, but then they still managed to put the squeeze on the opponent.
For the past five rounds in a row, Josep Guardiola's players have been alternating wins and losses in the Premier League. In this segment, the townspeople could not cope with top rivals Arsenal (1:5) and Liverpool (0:2). These matches have largely confirmed that this season the team is not ready to fight on equal terms with strong opponents on both the domestic and international arenas.
Nevertheless, Manchester City is unlikely to remain without the Champions League next season. At the moment, the team is in fourth place, just one point behind Nottingham Forest. In the last round, a minimal 1-0 away victory over Tottenham was recorded. Holland scored the winning goal in the 12th minute.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rhodri, Akanji, Stones and Ake will not play due to injuries. Bobb's entry into the field is questionable.

Tip and bets
At the moment, Nottingham Forest has a decent decline in the game and results, it is not possible to act reliably on the defensive on a regular basis, and without this component the foresters cannot achieve success. Obviously, the team is not ready for fierce competition at such a high level for themselves. Manchester City is not coping with top opponents, but overall the results are now much better than the upcoming opponent. Obviously, experience comes to the fore, and here Guardiola's players have the advantage. Plus, they won their previous three face-to-face meetings.
Our betting tip is that Manchester City will win by a factor of 1.95
Bet on the total
In the previous three matches, Manchester City won, and did not concede a single goal. It seems that they managed to more or less stabilize the defensive game, and Tottenham were also not allowed to score. We do not expect that the hosts will be able to open the defenses of the townspeople more than twice today.
The second bet is Nottingham Forest's individual goal total of less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.57
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
In two of the last three face-to-face matches, Manchester City won with an accurate score of 2:0. We expect that this time the townspeople will achieve a comfortable victory with a two-goal advantage.
Prediction – Manchester City will win with a two-goal advantage with a coefficient of 5.60
