Why Bet on Manchester United?

The Red Devils are always a big bet for many in the Premier League, but they have fell in a toxic cycle of mediocrity. With this, we mean that, when a project seems promising, even getting some titles, suddenly all begin to fall apart, just to start over again with some other DT. It happened with Van Gaal, later with Mou, then with Ole, and now the team is performing very poorly after a good first campaign with Ten Hag. However, it’s still too early to say if he’ll be the new victim of this issue or if he’ll end it.

At the start of the 2023/24 season, the team got away with a 1-0 victory against Wolves with a little bit of ‘luck’ (a non-awarded penalty at the end of the match). In this game, Raphael Varane gave the team the victory with a header. However, the team’s second match was a real disaster, as they could not stand against Tottenham away and lost 0-2.

Now, Manchester United must get back to winning as soon as possible to climb up important positions in the overall standings and, above all, to start fighting for the top of the league.

Why Bet on Nottingham Forest?

Nottingham Forest, for their part, come into the third matchday of the 2023/24 Premier League season in high spirits and confidence, as they are coming off an excellent 2-1 win over Sheffield United last Friday, August 18.

Similarly, Nottingham failed in their season debut against Arsenal, but they gave a small sign that they were not the team fighting until the end to stay in the Premier League last season. We say this because, despite the 1-2 defeat against Arsenal, the team stood up to the constant onslaught of the Gunners.

They will have to apply the same approach against another great team like Manchester United to at least come away with a point from their visit to Old Trafford.
