Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Predictions

• Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last nine competitive home games.
• Manchester city have only won four of their last 16 away games.
• Chris Wood has scored eight goals in his last nine Premier League appearances.

Citizens set for more disappointment

Manchester City kept their silverware chances alive with an FA Cup victory over Plymouth last weekend, but they may be forced to settle for a less positive result when they visit The City Ground on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s side, who are 20 points off the top of the Premier League and out of the Champions League, have lost four of their last eight in all competitions and have only won four of their last 16 away games.

Home record can carry Forest through

Nottingham Forest head into this tie a point above their visitors and, while they have suffered a dip in form recently, they look good value to maintain – or even extend – that gap on Saturday.

The Tricky Trees have lost just three of their last 16 competitive games and are unbeaten in nine at home, including wins over Aston Villa and Spurs and draws with Liverpool and Arsenal.

Wood can strike for the Tricky Trees

Considering the results at home to Arsenal and Liverpool specifically, Forest look a great price to get something from this game and backing them in the double chance market appeals.

A win may be beyond them, and a third-successive home draw against a fellow top-four outfit could be in the offing, making a 1-1 correct score prediction stand out.

Chris Wood is the most attractive option for anytime goalscorer punters. Only three players have scored more than his 19 Premier League goals and no player has scored more home goals than him this season. He has scored eight and assisted three in his last nine top-flight outings and could add to his season-best tally on Saturday.
