Why Bet on Nottingham Forest?
The “Tricky Trees,” despite what many might have imagined, are fighting tooth and nail for the top of the standings. Although it is practically impossible, the team remains within the TOP 3 of the table, now with only a 1-point difference with City and two with Chelsea.
Nottingham currently has an excellent record of 14 wins, six draws, and seven defeats, with 44 goals scored and 33 conceded. The team has been playing brilliantly all season long, but in the last few weeks, their performance has dropped considerably, coming from winning only 1 of their last four games.
Morgan Gibbs-White is a key offensive player alongside Chris Wood. However, we must also acknowledge the outstanding performances of Nicolas Dominguez and Anthony Elanga.
Nottingham Forest recently secured a hard-fought place in the FA Cup quarter-finals by defeating Ipswich Town on penalties. In the current Premier League season, they have surprised many by finishing third under Portuguese manager Nuno EspÃrito Santo.
Why Bet on Manchester City?
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s team is still far from being the dominant and precise team that has won the Premier League in recent seasons. However, they remain within the TOP 4 of the table, and with a victory in this matchday 28, they will climb to third place in the standings.
The Citizens come into this matchday in fourth place in the table, with 14 wins, five draws, and eight defeats, with 53 goals scored and 37 conceded.
Erling Haaland is consistently a feared and closely watched player, as are Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva, who, despite not always being at their best, pose a significant threat.
Manchester City comes into this crucial point with a 3-1 win over Plymouth in the FA Cup, which may be their best chance for a title in a rather unconventional season. In the league, led by Pep Guardiola, they recently managed a narrow victory over Tottenham.
