Prediction: 0-1
Newcastle
City Ground will host Saturday’s football game between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United. The Reds are only two points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that this match is of big importance for Steve Cooper’s troops. Since all McKenna, Boly, Biancone, and Awoniyi miss out with injuries, home win should not be considered. To make things even worse for the home team, towering striker Chris Wood is ineligible to face his parent club.
The Magpies, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Wolves. Newcastle are eager to stay in the Champions League race, and given Nottingham’s five-game winless run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. The likes of Krafth, Ashby, Joelinton, and Gordon are out of contention for the away team through different reasons. Miguel Almiron should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Wolves.
Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
