There were 13 corners in Newcastle's game and 12 in Forest's match at the weekend, so we should get over nine corners with Paddy Power at 17/20. Back Forest to score before the 79th minute at 10/11 with bet365. Forest showed plenty of determination and fight even with a man down and can at least score here against a far-from-solid Newcastle defence. Newcastle are considerably better at home, but on current form just cannot be trusted at such short odds. He is 15/4 to score anytime with the same firm. New Zealand striker Chris Wood netted for Forest at the weekend against Bournemouth. Players to watchĪlexander Isak came on as a first half sub at Luton but is on a five game drought without a goal as he looks to add to the ten he has scored this season for club and country.

Last season, Newcastle completed the double by winning at St James'Park and the City Ground.įorest haven't won on Tyneside for a league game since 1988. Nottingham Forest can be backed at 6/1 with Betfair and the draw is 7/2 with UniBet. Newcastle United are odds-on favourites here at 1/2 across the board really at bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes and plenty others. It's now one point out of a possible 21 for Forest after a horror run. They are just two points above Luton who have a game in hand which would see the Tricky Trees plummet into the relegation zone if they won. New Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo saw his debut ruined as his ten men went down to a late home defeat to Bournemouth. They've now lost at Bournemouth and been thumped at Everton as Spurs as well as crashing out of the Champions League and League Cup recently.

Passive and incapable of unlocking defences on the road. A 1-0 defeat at Luton Town on Saturday summed them up.

The Geordies were tipped by many to push on after last season's encouraging efforts and perhaps even force their way into a title challenge.īut it's been a pretty dismal effort from them so far and they have particularly struggled away from St James' Park. EDDIE HOWE is unlikely to enjoy his turkey and trimmings on Christmas Day with pressure building on the Newcastle United manager.Īnd he daren't even contemplate anything other than a convincing Boxing Day win at home to Nottingham Forest, who are themselves under new management.
