Nottingham aren't in best conditions as the team recorded only one point in their recent four matches. The team sits on 18th position in the league with 26 points gained after 23 matches played and they are only six points ahead of relegation zone. Forest played 12 matches on the road so far, taking only eight points and recording eight defeats, two wins and two draws. Exactly poor performance on the road don’t allow the team to have better league position.
Despite recent results, the Magpies are way stronger side than the visitors from the middle of the standings. Recent home loss should motivate the team to show their best football in front of home fans. Moreover, Nottingham don’t look like the side that should cause troubles to one of the league leaders.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
