Our prediction for this Premier League match:
There will be fireworks when Nottingham Forest and Manchester United go head to head at the City Ground on Matchday 20. The Reds aim to build on a 3-1 win over Newcastle United and they are surely capable of matching Erik ten Hag’s troops in front of home fans. Both Scott Mckenna and Joe Worrall miss out through suspension, while Taiwo Awoniyi remains in the recovery room.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, made a comeback in a 3-2 win over Aston Villa, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Man Utd aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but beating Forest on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides will go for a win in the last game of the year. Sofyan Amrabat should be fit for the match, while all Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, and Tyrell Malacia remain on the sidelines.
