Command Analysis

Manchester United

Current form
After Erik ten Hag left the team, Manchester United had an unbeaten streak of seven matches. However, in the last round they failed to build on their success, as they suffered a 0:2 defeat to Arsenal in London. The opponent in that match clearly used their chances on set pieces, the Red Devils themselves created almost nothing in attack, and only made two shots on target. The defeat was largely deserved. In the tournament table after 14 rounds, Ruben Amorim charges occupy 13th place with 19 points scored. However, the density is very decent and in case of a victory today there is a chance to get very close to the top 6. It should be noted that the Mancunians perform successfully at Old Trafford in the Premier League, having scored 13 of their total 19 points here.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shaw and Lindelof are out today due to injuries, while Evans is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have not lost in the first half in their last five matches
- Manchester United are unbeaten in six of their last eight Premier League matches
Probable line-up: Onana - Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez - Diallo, Mainu, Ugarte, Dalot - Rashford, Fernandes - Hoylund.

Nottingham Forest

Current form
Just a few rounds ago, Nottingham was in the top 4, but predictably, they could not withstand the competition with their top opponents. In the five previous matches, the Foresters suffered three defeats and now, after 14 rounds, they are only in seventh place. It is noticeable that Nuno Espirito Santo charges simply lack the class to compete on equal terms with Arsenal (0:3) or Manchester City (0:3). Thus, in the last game against the Citizens, they made only three shots on target, and the defense this time was not particularly reliable.
Disqualifications and injuries
Danilo and Sangare will not play today due to injuries. Yates' appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have not won in the first half in seven consecutive away Premier League games
- Nottingham Forest have not exchanged goals in three consecutive matches
Probable line-up: Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Anderson, Dominguez - Silva, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi - Wood.

8.00Tip and bets
In the last seven head-to-head matches, Nottingham Forest have lost to their upcoming opponent. We don’t think that today, given the decline in their game, the Foresters will be able to interrupt this unsuccessful series. In addition, Manchester United has noticeably improved their game after the resignation of Erik ten Hag, and in the previous round they left no chance for Everton (4:0) at home, and we can expect the same scenario to develop this time.
Our prediction is Manchester United to win at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
The guests often have problems in attack, as the team usually plays second fiddle, relying more on defense and counterattacks. In the last two lost matches, Nottingham Forest failed to open the defense of Arsenal and Manchester City. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
The second bet is Nottingham Forest individual total goals under one with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
Let pay attention to the fact that Nottingham Forest does not have high corner performance. Thus, in seven of the previous nine away matches in the Premier League, the "foresters" did not perform more than three corners. Based on such statistics, we recommend another forecast.
Prediction – Nottingham Forest corners total under 3.5 with odds of 2.30
