We have Friday night football on our hands this week in the English Premier League, as Nottingham Forest host Newcastle United at the City Ground.
The home side were on the receiving end of a 3-1 defeat in their last game against Tottenham Hotspur with Joe Worrall scoring the only goal for Steve Cooper’s side.
Whereas Newcastle picked up three points against Wolverhampton Wanderers winning 2-1 last time out, thanks to a winner in the 79th minute from Miguel Almiron.

Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United
Friday 17th March, 21:00
City Ground
Forest have experienced a slight dip in form recently, as they have not won in their last five games and the last time they picked up three points was against Leeds United at the start of February.
The recent results have meant that Forest have dropped down to 14th in the league standings after 26 games played, but they do have a game in hand over the two sides above them.
Although the Magpies won in their last game, they had not won prior to this in five games in all competitions, including a disappointing EFL Cup Final loss against Manchester United.
Eddie Howe’s side have found goals hard to come by, netting just twice in their last four games.
Despite sitting outside a Champions League qualification spot, Howe might still be confident that they can qualify for the competition as they have two games in hand over Spurs who sit above them.
Bet9ja Odds
With Newcastle currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, we predict an away victory in this game, and you can get odds of 1.68 for them to win at Bet9ja. Almiron is Newcastle’s top scorer in the league this season with 11 goals, and you can get odds of him to score at 3.85.
