Nottingham vs Manchester United Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 10 of the Premier League, scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 15:00 GMT. The match will be held at the City Ground and broadcast live on Amazon Prime and BBC Radio 5 Live. United arrive in high spirits after three straight league victories, while Forest are desperate for points after slipping into the bottom three. In this article, you’ll find insights from Premier League Stats to help guide your betting choices.

Manchester United have scored in every Premier League game this season.
Nottingham Forest have lost six of their last seven league matches.
Forest’s last four defeats have come without scoring a single goal.
United could climb to second with a win if other results go their way.

It’s been a rough ride for Nottingham Forest lately. Six losses in their last seven Premier League games and not a single goal in their last four, it’s tough to find optimism at the City Ground right now. Sean Dyche, fresh from a short-lived high after a Europa League win against Porto, watched his team crumble 2-0 at Bournemouth. That defeat left Forest three points from safety. The stats don’t lie: they average just 0.75 goals scored and 2 conceded per game, and have failed to hit the net in ten of Dyche’s last fourteen league outings as a manager. Can he really turn things around before winter hits?

Forest’s tactical shift is noticeable. Under Ange Postecoglou, they tried to play on the floor, short passes, possession-heavy football. Dyche has changed that completely: 25 long passes from goalkeeper Matz Sels against Bournemouth says it all. Still, with Chris Wood, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Ola Aina sidelined, Dyche’s options are limited. The fans want fight, not philosophy, and that’s what the new manager promises. Whether it’ll be enough against one of the most in-form teams in the country is another question entirely.

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, on the other hand, are finally starting to look like a side with purpose. Three wins on the spin, including an impressive 4-2 against Brighton, have lifted spirits around Old Trafford. Bryan Mbeumo is flying: six goal involvements in his last three games and Matheus Cunha looks like the real deal after finally opening his United account. Since August, no one but Arsenal has collected more points than the Red Devils, and they’ve scored at least once in every league game. It’s hard not to feel the momentum building.

Still, United’s away form is their Achilles’ heel. Just four points from twelve on the road, including back-to-back defeats at the City Ground in previous visits, should keep them on edge. Amorim’s team do boast a 100% record on Over 1.5 Goals this season, reflecting their front-foot mentality, while Forest’s own numbers (75% Over 1.5 Goals) suggest we could still see action at both ends. That said, the Red Devils look more balanced now, with Maguire expected back and Fernandes pulling the strings. It’s hard to say how this will end, but one thing’s for sure, the energy around United right now feels different. Expect goals, grit, and a proper Premier League fight shaped by bold tactics and raw emotion from both dugouts.

For those tracking the season closely, these Premier League Stats point towards another high-tempo contest where United’s attacking rhythm might just be too much for Forest’s fragile defense. But football’s never that simple, is it?

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United head to the City Ground in fine form, aiming for a fourth straight Premier League win after beating Brighton 4-2. Bryan Mbeumo’s attacking influence continues to shine, while Nottingham Forest, under Sean Dyche, struggle to find goals, losing six of their last seven league games. The Opta supercomputer predicts a close contest, giving Forest a narrow 38.1% edge in simulations (theanalyst.com).

X2
Manchester United enter this match on a strong run, winning three consecutive Premier League games and scoring 14 goals since late August. Nottingham, meanwhile, have lost six of their last seven, including four straight defeats without scoring. Forest’s average of 0.75 goals per game versus United’s 1.0 shows a clear attacking imbalance. Away from home, United have been inconsistent, but their form against struggling sides has been solid. Given Forest’s ongoing injuries to key players like Chris Wood and Zinchenko, and Dyche’s side adapting to a new long-ball system, United are unlikely to lose. The X2 bet covers both a United win and a draw, making it safer given their away record. United’s stronger squad depth, momentum, and scoring efficiency make them the logical pick for at least a point here.

Over 1.5 Goals
Over 1.5 Goals is the logical play here considering the data. United have averaged 3.0 goals per match this season, hitting the Over 1.5 mark in every Premier League game. Forest’s matches have produced 2.75 goals on average, even though they’ve failed to score lately. Dyche’s defensive structure still leaks goals, conceding two per game. Amorim’s side, with Mbeumo and Cunha in strong form, are unlikely to be shut out. Given Forest’s home desperation, they’ll have to attack, which may open them up defensively. Historically, clashes at the City Ground tend to be lively, and United’s ability to exploit space on the break should ensure a few goals are scored. Statistically and stylistically, everything points to an open match with at least two goals.
