In the last three face-to-face meetings, Manchester United failed to defeat Nottingham Forest. The rivals will play their next match on May 17 as part of the 37th round of the Premier League. Will the Red Devils be able to break a series of unsuccessful games against an inconvenient opponent today? We recommend that you review our betting tip and choose the exact bids
Command Analysis
Manchester United
Current form
Two rounds before the finish, Manchester United had already secured a place in the Champions League and almost guaranteed the third place, which they currently occupy. The gap from Aston Villa, which played its match in this round, is three points. Even a draw today will allow the Mancunians to become bronze medalists ahead of schedule. At the end of the season, there is no question of any decline in the wards of Michael Carrick. Yes, we drew with Sandeland (0-0) in the last round, but before that we had a three-match winning streak, and against difficult opponents: Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool. Since the beginning of the season, the Red Devils have won 12 of 18 matches and scored 39 points, which is the third highest score in the Premier League.
Disqualifications and injuries
De Ligt will not play (injury). The appearance of Sheshko and Ugarte on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last four matches, Manchester United have won in the first half.
In nine out of ten previous matches, Manchester United players were not offside more often than their opponents.
Nottingham Forest has an eight-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. Such a powerful breakthrough in the end allowed us to guarantee our residence permit for the next season two rounds before the finish. However, due to the tight schedule of matches, the foresters could not make it to the Europa League final. In the semi-finals, they defeated Aston Villa 1-0 on home turf, but suffered a crushing defeat 0:4. In the last round of the Premier League, Vitor Pereira's team drew 1-1 with Newcastle on their own field. In that meeting, all the main events on the field unfolded at the end. First, the Magpies opened the scoring in the 74th minute, then Anderson equalized in the 88th minute. With 43 points, Nottingham Forest is in 16th place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boli, Savona, Hudson-Odoi and Victor are injured. Abbott, Aina, Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Sangare and Murillo are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four of the last five matches, Nottingham Forest had not lost in the first half
Nottingham Forest players were offside more often than their opponents in three of the previous four matches.
Manchester United failed to beat Nottingham Forest in the previous three head-to-head matches and today is clearly betting on breaking this series. Moreover, the moment is right for this. The Red Devils are playing at home, where they have won 12 of their 18 matches since the start of the Premier League season. Everything is fine with the current form of Carrick's team – they won three times in four previous meetings. It is today that Manchester United can officially take third place ahead of schedule in the presence of fans. The foresters have guaranteed themselves a residence permit, there are many injured players in the squad, and it is unlikely that the team will be able to earn at least one point at Old Trafford.
Our prediction is that Manchester United will win by a factor of 1.67
Will the prediction win?
TipIT is more than two goals for Manchester United
Manchester United have seven wins at Old Trafford in their last eight matches. The Red Devils have no problems attacking on their own field, and they have consistently scored more than one goal in this stretch of seven winning matches. We don't think that Nottingham Forest's defense is a serious obstacle for them today.
The second bet is Manchester United's individual goal total of more than two with a coefficient of 2.12
Betting on corners
When choosing a bet on statistics, we note that in four of the previous five matches, Nottingham Forest did not lose on corners. Accordingly, taking into account the bookmakers' odds, we recommend another betting option for the upcoming meeting.
Prediction – Nottingham Forest will not lose on corners with a coefficient of 2.60
