Nottingham Forest v Man City
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 8th March at 12:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
📺
What TV Channel: TNT Sports 1
As the race for Champions League football intensifies, Man City’s visit to The City Ground in Nottingham could represent a turning point in both sides’ seasons.
At present, Nottingham Forest sit one point clear of City, occupying 3rd position, but with no more than six points separating 3rd from 10th, it could be anyone’s game.
⭐ Nottingham Forest v Man City Best Bet
Haaland has already found the back of the net on 38 occasions this season, boasting a league tally of 20 goals – 2nd only to Salah. He’s accumulated a total of 21.86 expected goals in the league, more than any other player, showcasing the quality of chances he receives.
The Norwegian has scored at least once in six of his last eight matches and eight of his most recent 11 across all competitions.
The Nottingham Forest defence was breached three times last time out against Man City and has looked shaky in recent weeks, conceding four to Newcastle, two against Exeter City, five v Bournemouth, and two in their clash with Southampton.
🟡 Nottingham Forest v Man City ABC Exclusive Boost
Man City have been one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League when it comes to corners, averaging 7.22 per game – 2nd only to Tottenham. In contrast, Nottingham Forest rank much lower, managing just 4.37 per match.
Not only do City win more corners, but they also concede significantly fewer, with their opponents averaging just 3.48 per game, the 2nd-lowest in the league.
Meanwhile, given Forest’s willingness to operate with minimal possession, their backline comes under a lot of pressure. They’ve allowed their opposition to win an average of 6.56 corners per match – the 2nd-highest in the division.
This City dominance is likely to extend to the shots on target market, in which they rank 2nd-best, averaging 5.85 per match.
Nottingham Forest rank 11th with regards to that metric and could struggle against a City side who’ve enjoyed a week off.
In the reverse fixture, the corner score read 8-2 in City’s favour, and the shots on target 6-3, in the same direction.
👕 Nottingham Forest v Man City Predicted XI
🔍 Nottingham Forest v Man City Players to Watch
🔵 Omar Marmoush
Omar Marmoush draws an average of 2.68 fouls per 90 minutes in the league, 2nd only to Jack Grealish among Manchester City players.
Before his move to England, he was drawing an even higher 3.40 fouls per 90 in the Bundesliga.
This bet has landed in 11 of his last 13 domestic starts, including five of six since arriving in England.
While Nottingham Forest’s exact midfield lineup remains uncertain, their key options, Ibrahim Sangaré, Ryan Yates, Elliot Anderson, and Nicolas Domínguez, are all prone to the more than occasional foul, averaging 2.77, 2.40, 1.51, and 1.45 fouls per 90, respectively.
