Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Two teams in good form go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend as Manchester United play host to Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils have only lost one of their last six league games, picking up three wins and two draws during that period. Visiting Nottingham Forest arrive in Manchester unbeaten in their last eight league games, securing four draws and four wins.

When these two sides locked horns at The City Ground back in November, nothing could separate the pair in what proved to be an action-packed stalemate. United took the lead that day but found themselves 2-1 down early in the second half and needed a late equaliser from Amad Diallo to earn a share of the points.

Both teams have scored in seven of United's last nine outings in the Premier League, while six of Forest's last nine league games have also produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Four of the last six league meetings between these two clubs have ended with both teams scoring, and Forest are unbeaten in their last four league meetings with the Premier League giants.

Bruno Fernandes has been spectacular for United in the Premier League this season, producing 27 goal contributions and counting. The Portuguese star has scored eight times and provided 19 assists, with three of those setups arriving in his last five appearances.
