Nottingham Forest are brimming with confidence following a 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, but given Man City’s excellent form in December, 0-2 is our predicted outcome for Saturday’s encounter. The Reds quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Everton, with the team scoring 1.70 goals per game of late. Ryan Yates is rated doubtful, while all Chris Wood, Ola Aina, and Ibrahim Sangare remain in the recovery room.
The Citizens, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their eighth consecutive win in all competitions. The fact that Man City have kept a clean sheet in 80% of their last five games definitely goes in favour of our betting angle. A man to watch in the away team will be Erling Haaland, who has been averaging 1.1 goals per game this season. Both Rayan Ait Nouri and Omar Marmoush are on international duty, while Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, and Rodri remain in the recovery room. The trio, though, was not sorely missed in Saturday’s 3-0 win over West Ham United.
Given Man City’s splendid form in the Premier League, our prediction points toward an Away Win, with additional value on Erling Haland to Score and BTTS – No.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 27 December 2025 at 12:30.
