Analysis of performance, prediction of results MU vs Nottingham Forest
MU will host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford this weekend in a match where both teams need a win to keep their hopes alive.
With home advantage and determination to overcome a series of bad results, the Red Devils will try to win all 3 points.
Current form
Manchester United suffered a disappointing defeat to Arsenal, but they return to Old Trafford, where they have won six of their last seven games in all competitions. This gives Ruben Amorim's side the confidence to win against Nottingham Forest, especially as the visitors have not been in good form on their recent trips.
Nottingham Forest, despite their impressive performances this season, have struggled, losing their last two away games 3-0. However, Forest have a decent record at the Etihad, drawing 1-1 with Man City last September and winning 2-1 against Man United last season.
Influencing factors
Man United will be without Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof, while other key players such as Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo could return, but the absence of some key names will affect the Red Devils' defense. The home team's attack, with the presence of Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo, is still a very notable attack.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are without key players Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare, and their squad is not at its strongest. They still have bright individuals like Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga, but it will be difficult for them to counter the might of Man United at Old Trafford.
Score prediction
With home advantage and a stronger squad, Manchester United will be aiming for an important win to get back into the top 4 race. Nottingham Forest will not give up easily, but they are unlikely to create a surprise in a match that Man United have prepared carefully.
Score prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest
The Red Devils will win 2-0, a result that will keep their top-four hopes alive and boost their morale for the upcoming matches.
