Newcastle United have not been victorious this season yet. The Magpies got only one point after starting three tours of the Premier League. They lost to Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-2 score, to Chelsea with a 1-2 score and drew against Cardiff City with a 0-0 score. The team of Rafael Benitez has had eleven matches on the away side in 2018, won twice, drew three times and lost six.
In their last four fixtures between them Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United had a big total in every match. It is likely that the teams will use their reserve players in the upcoming fixture and will not play convincingly in the defense.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored.
