Nottingham vs Newcastle Prediction, Team News, Lineups, Stats 10.05.2026

Nottingham vs Newcastle Prediction and Betting Tips comes from the City Ground on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 14:00 GMT. Paul Tierney is the referee, with live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live. For sharper angles, Get accurate Premier League Stats from XpertStats.

Forest arrive with momentum, belief and a slightly bruised squad after Europe, while Newcastle travel with poorer rhythm but enough individual quality to hurt anyone. Can the home crowd drag Pereira’s side over the line? This feels tense, tactical and maybe not too chaotic.

Nottingham vs Newcastle Prediction

Under 4.5 Cards
Odds: 1.58 Confidence: Medium-High

This pick leans on the match profile rather than emotion. Nottingham home games average 3.06 cards, while Newcastle away fixtures sit at 3.76, giving a combined cards average of 3.41. That is a useful cushion below the line, especially with only 24% of their combined match sample clearing +4.5 cards. Paul Tierney can manage games firmly, but the provided foul numbers do not scream chaos. Nottingham commit 9.94 fouls at home, Newcastle commit 9.53 away, and neither side looks like a reckless card magnet in this setup. With Forest needing points and Newcastle short of rhythm, control may matter more than wild tackles.

Nottingham vs Newcastle Correct Score

Nottingham
1-1
Newcastle

Nottingham score 1.06 goals at home and concede 1.24, so a narrow attacking ceiling is baked into the data. Newcastle’s away attack is hardly flying either, with 0.94 goals scored on the road. Forest’s recent scoring run gives them a route to goal, but the doubtful status of Morgan Gibbs-White slightly trims their creative edge. Newcastle have enough threat through Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Bruno Guimarães, yet their away rhythm has been patchy. Their shots and shots on target numbers suggest pressure in spells rather than dominance. With Forest unbeaten recently and the visitors still capable of nicking one, 1-1 feels like the most realistic football scoreline.

Nottingham vs Newcastle Stats

  • Nottingham have collected 13 points from their last 5 matches, winning 4 during that run.
  • Newcastle have taken only 3 points from their last 5 matches, a worrying away backdrop.
  • Forest have scored 16 goals across their last 5 fixtures, suddenly finding serious attacking rhythm.
  • Newcastle’s last 5 matches produced BTTS in 4 games, showing both threat and vulnerability.
  • Nottingham average 14.88 shots at home, giving them a healthy attacking platform at City Ground.
  • Newcastle average 11.59 shots away, enough to compete but not always to control matches.

Nottingham vs Newcastle Match Preview

Nottingham are not exactly strolling through the campaign, sitting in the lower reaches of the Premier League, but their recent surge has changed the mood. The City Ground has felt alive again. Still, the table keeps everyone honest, and Pereira knows this is the kind of match that can settle nerves.

Newcastle sit higher, though their away form has been uneven and a little frustrating. Eddie Howe’s side can still carry danger through quick wide attacks and late midfield runners, but the numbers point toward a team that often competes without fully taking control. That is a tricky balance.

The rhythm could be stop-start rather than frantic. Forest may lean into energy, second balls and territory, while Newcastle try to use their midfield experience to slow the noise. Corners may arrive naturally, but cards look less certain. It feels like a game decided by patience, not panic.

Nottingham vs Newcastle Team News

Vitor Pereira is expected to set Nottingham up in a 4-4-2, but his selection picture is messy. Callum Hudson-Odoi is ruled out with a muscle injury, while Ola Aina is also unavailable. Morgan Gibbs-White remains doubtful, and that matters because he is Forest’s leading scorer this season.

Eddie Howe should keep Newcastle in a 4-5-1 shape, with midfield control a clear priority. Fabian Schär, Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento are out, which limits defensive rotation. Bruno Guimarães is expected to be central again, and his goal contribution from midfield keeps Newcastle dangerous even in tight games.

Forest need freshness after their European disappointment, and Pereira’s own words suggested a squad running close to the edge. Newcastle, meanwhile, may lean on Osula as a mobile focal point.

Nottingham Forest head coach Vitor Pereira says Sunday’s Premier League clash with Newcastle is crucial in the club’s relegation battle, as injuries continue to disrupt his squad. Callum Hudson-Odoi will miss the rest of the season, while Forest are still waiting on updates for Ola Aina, Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White. Pereira urged his side to respond strongly at home after their recent Europa League disappointment.
