NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS MANCHESTER CITY PREDICTIONS: 27.12.2025 - PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS MANCHESTER CITY

Nottingham Forest come into this fixture with mixed form; the Reds have impressed with wins against Wolves and Tottenham, but they lost 1-0 against Fulham at Craven Cottage in their recent outing. Manchester City have been excellent recently, winning their last five Premier League games while keeping three clean sheets.

Louie Truman has previewed this fixture and delivered his best bet.

FOREST INCONSISTENT FORM

Nottingham Forest have had a difficult start to the current campaign, with two different managerial appointments. Nuno Espírito Santo started the season as manager, but was sacked after just three Premier League games. He was replaced by Ange Postecoglou, who only lasted 39 days before being dismissed.

Sean Dyche is currently in charge and has been at the club for 13 games. Performances haven’t been perfect, but results have been strong, which has put The Reds five points clear of the relegation zone.

Ibrahim Sangaré has been excellent for Forest recently; he managed a goal and two assists against Tottenham, but he will not be included in the squad as he is on international duty with Ivory Coast at AFCON.

MAN CITY EYE SIXTH STRAIGHT LEAGUE WIN

Manchester City have won their last five Premier League fixtures, and the Citizens come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3-0 home win against West Ham. Erling Haaland scored a brace, taking his Premier League goal tally to 19 for the season. Tijjani Reijnders also got his name on the scoresheet.

Rayan Ait Nouri and Omar Marmoush are on with Algeria and Egypt at AFCON, while Rodri, Jeremy Doku, and Mateo Kovacic continue to be sidelined. Guardiola plans to weigh all his players after the Christmas break to make sure they didn’t overindulge, showing City’s usual high standards.

FOREST VS MAN CITY H2H

In recent meetings, this fixture has favoured Manchester City. The Sky Blues have won five of the last seven games between the two sides. From their two most recent encounters, Forest managed to win to nil at the City ground with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring the decisive goal to secure a 1-0 home win for the Reds.

Man City managed to win their most recent encounter 2-0 in the FA Cup Semi-Final, which took place at Wembley; Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol were the goal scorers

OUR FOREST VS MAN CITY BETTING TIP

Both sides will be looking to secure important points. Man City will be looking to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal, and Forest will look to move further away from the relegation places.

Louie Truman has assessed all the Premier League Odds for this match and picked out what he considers to be the best value play.

MAN CITY TO SECURE THE POINTS

Even though Forest won this match last season under Nuno, their busy schedule and Dyche’s poor record against Guardiola makes it difficult for the hosts.

Man City will be looking to make the most out of their excellent form. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden have been in great form recently and will be looking to make an impact at the City Ground. Haaland started the season with 13 of City’s first 20 goals, and Phil Foden has scored six in his last five games.
