Where: City Ground, Nottingham, England
When: Sunday, April 28, 11:30 PM

Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester City Preview

Nottingham Forest

Forest has nothing to lose here. There isn’t a way out for them but winning until the end. That’s the only solution for their Premiership status. Hanging above Luton, with one point more, the former European champions can feel the heat, and they have to do the impossible—beat the champions.

Nottingham has only one victory in the past ten games. Six of them ended with losses. So, you can imagine the situation in their locker room. Plus, they are under enormous pressure, which can be counterproductive in some situations.

Though, at home, they have three in a row without a loss, two of them ties and one a victory. They played 1-1 against Palace and 2-2 vs. Wolves, while beating Fulham in between, 3-1. Forest has only one clean sheet in the last 15 home games across all the competitions.

Manchester City

City survived Chelsea in the FA Cup semis, thus somewhat recovering from the Champions League exit against Real Madrid. However, they played far beneath the expectations and their quality. Chelsea was close to taking this event in a completely different direction.

This will be the Citizens’ second consecutive road event, having previously faced Brighton at the Amex stadium. But we can’t talk about fatigue now or about the injury problems because Guardiola has the deepest roster in the league.

Up until that trip, we haven’t seen them lose 13 straight events. In 11 of them, Man City was on the winning side, while two ended without winners. Apart from three, the Citizens have netted two or more hits in all others.

Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester City Predictions

Forest has been struggling against much easier rivals than Man City. But they don’t have any other choice here but to be aggressive and try to make a surprise. City’s position is already known, and they too, don’t have the room for calculations. We expect them to triumph here and keep their top spot.

Our verdict: Manchester City wins
