Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tips & 7/1 Bet Builder

Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest preview and betting tips for the Premier League fixture on Boxing Day from St. James’ Park.

While Newcastle might have continued to break a string of records over the past 12 months, the Magpies certainly have the feel of a squad seeking a recent boost when they return to the north east on Tuesday lunchtime.

Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Bournemouth over the weekend and now firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Nottingham Forest face what will be another stern examination on Boxing Day.

 

Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Suffering what was a shock 1-0 defeat away at Luton over the weekend, Newcastle find themselves in the midst of a recent struggle. Crashing out of the Champions League earlier in the month, Eddie Howe’s men have remarkably lost five of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Now facing what looks set to be a real challenge in their bid to punch another top-four finish in the New Year, Newcastle will be more than aware that they have plenty of pressure on their shoulders here.

Getting Nuno Espirito Santo’s tenure off with a last-gasp 3-2 defeat at home against Bournemouth over the weekend, Nottingham Forest find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Mustering just a single point from any of their previous seven straight Premier League appearances, the former Tottenham boss has an almighty job on his hands at the City Ground. Arriving at St. James’ Park on Boxing Day holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone, Forest have also collected just a single away victory throughout 2023.
