Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction

Nottingham Forest have lost three of their last five outings in the Premier League, and on Saturday, they play host to an in-form Manchester City side in the day's early kick-off. The hosts have only failed to score in one of their last six home games, which is why we're backing Sean Dyche's side to score against Manchester City this weekend. However, Forest shipped three goals against the last team they faced from the North West, Everton, but haven't conceded more than three goals in any match so far this season.

Nottingham Forest claimed all three points in this very fixture last season, thanks to a solitary goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi, but have lost five of their last seven games against the Citizens, including twice last season across all competitions.

Manchester City are enjoying their best run of form this season, having won each of their last seven matches in league and cup. Pep Guardiola';s side have scored at least three goals in five of those seven matches, but have conceded seven goals during that period, which works out at one goal per game. With all that in mind, we're backing the visitors to run out 3-1 winners in Saturday's early kick-off.

Nottingham Forest 1-3 Manchester City

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Preview & Prediction

Nottingham Forest are certainly capable of causing an upset in this fixture, as they proved last season when they ran out 1-0 winners against Pep Guardiola's side. However, the Citizens have won five of the duo's last seven meetings in league and cup, claiming a 2-0 win when the pair last locked horns in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Manchester City are in excellent form right now with wins in each of their last seven matches in all competitions, so it's hard to see this game ending in anything but three more points for the visitors.
