Why bet on Manchester City?
The image of Pep Guardiola all scratched up by himself after the draw against Feyenoord has already gone around the world. Manchester City is in a results slump and it takes a long memory to find out when was the last time it happened.
In the Premier League, the team has four consecutive defeats, plus one against Tottenham in the EFL Cup, another against Sporting in the Champions League, and a draw with Feyenoord also in the European competition. In other words, seven games without a win, and against the Dutch they were leading 3-0 and were tied with goals at 74′, 82′, and 89′.
They have just lost 2-0 to leaders Liverpool, allowing the Reds to escape with 11 points more than them. Guardiola’s side is fifth with 23 points, outside the Champions League places.
Their 22 goals scored is the sixth-best record, 12 of which have come from Erling Haaland, the Premier League’s top scorer. On the other hand, their 19 goals against are only the eleventh-best record in the championship.
Undoubtedly the absence of Rodri has made a big hole in the team, and Haaland has no replacement this year after Julian Alvarez left for Atletico Madrid.
Why bet on Nottingham Forest?
Nottingham Forest fought last year to avoid relegation, and this time it is fighting to qualify for the European cups.
After 13 matches they are in sixth place with 22 points from six wins, four draws and three defeats. They are not a team that scores a lot of goals, as they have only 16, but their 13 goals against are the second-best record of the tournament only behind Liverpool’s eight.
They are coming off a 1-0 win over Ipswich with a Chris Wood goal from the penalty spot. The New Zealander is the team’s top scorer with nine goals. Only he and Callum Hudson-Odoi (2) have more than one.
They have done well away, with three wins, two draws, and one defeat, which came in their last game against Arsenal. In addition, in this condition, they beat Liverpool (0-1) and drew with Chelsea (1-1) and Brighton (2-2), teams that are above them in the Premier League.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Nottingham Forest
