An important match in the 26th round of the English Premier League will take place on February 23 between Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Each club is riding high on its current success and is predicting a top-four finish. The Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest match will kick off at 14:00 UK Time.
Their recent run into the European Cup play-offs is short-lived. Actually, Nottingham Forest are going to be a tough out. Plus, it’s not even in the top six; it’s in third place, which is a far higher position. Even though they’re now six points behind second-place Arsenal, the Foresters have been firmly established there for some time. The distance between Nuno Santo’s wards and their pursuers, however, is still three and four points.
There was room for improvement at Forest. However, he slumped in the competition after two consecutive losses in recent rounds, a 0:5 setback against Bournemouth and a 1:2 setback against Fulham. Intriguingly, Foresters managed to beat Brighton 7-0 in the interval between these defeats. Even if they’re winning more often, the team is still unpredictable.
Although they were in the top six for a while, Newcastle has since dropped out. Everything revolves on the losses, which multiplied to three in the span of four rounds. Manchester City (0:4), Fulham (1:2), and Bournemouth (1:4) were among teams that the Magpies were unable to defeat. Importantly, two of those opponents were Nottingham Forest, who also lost.
On the other hand, Howe’s squad isn’t doing so badly; it still wins often and seems far stronger from a distance. Newcastle has lately won two more competitions. He advanced past Arsenal (4:0 total score) in the League Cup semi-finals and eliminated Birmingham (3:2) in the FA Cup.
