Newcastle United host Nottingham Forest at St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne on Wednesday, Dec 30 at 8:30 PM in the Premier League.
Newcastle United come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Nottingham Forest travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Newcastle United won their last outing, while Nottingham Forest suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
History strongly favours Newcastle United here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Nottingham Forest, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Newcastle United a slight edge, but Nottingham Forest are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
