Manchester United Team News
During the World Cup break, Manchester United played two games. And managed to suffer both defeats. A poor performance in those games led most punters to think Manchester could “slip” in the EFL Cup, but Burnley was a relatively easy obstacle.
As things stand now, the home team will have a big fight with Tottenham for the fourth place in the table. What suits Manchester United is the fact that Tottenham lost two points against Brentford, so a victory would reduce the gap behind Tottenham to just one point.
Manchester United has conceded only 4 goals in 6 matches at home, which should be useful considering that the next match is against a team that does not have very good offensive qualities.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Undoubtedly, the visitors are serious contenders for a return to the Championship. Nottingham Forest has collected only 13 points in 15 matches and is currently in the penultimate place. It is very interesting to note that the guests have won 2 out of 3 in the last 4 rounds.
Nottingham Forest stands out negatively this season in two parameters, defensive and attacking performance. They scored 11 (the second-worst offensive performance in the league) and conceded 30 goals (they have the worst defense in the league), so I clearly cannot “threaten” anyone.
Away from home, they have 2 draws and 5 losses with a goal difference of 1:19, so it is more than clear why they have the status of total outsiders here. As the home team will be highly motivated to catch up with Tottenham, there is little chance that their away performance will change after this match.

Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction
- Manchester United plays quite disciplined at home, as only 4 conceded goals show enough.
- The home team has not conceded a goal at home in the last three matches against teams that are far better than Nottingham Forest.
- After a long time, Ten Haag will have almost all the main players together, so it can be expected that the home team will play this game as seriously as possible. If that is the case, the only question is how many goals the visitors will return home with.
- The guests will be without five players in this match, which could affect their style of play in many ways. We believe that offensively they cannot match a better opponent and that they will focus on the defensive.
- A few days ago, the duel between Manchester United and Burnley showed that United could be very dangerous even with a relatively “mixed” squad. All the more so as the loss of points in such “small matches” could have far-reaching consequences. Now that they are almost complete, we expect a sure and convincing triumph from them.
