Nottingham Forest are heading into this match in pretty decent spirits. They've won two of their last five games, with a couple of draws thrown in, and they've only lost once. In their most recent home game before that run, they even scored five goals. Newcastle, on the other hand, are having a tough time. They've lost four of their last five matches, with just one draw to show for it, and they've struggled to score, getting shut out a few times.

When these two teams have met before, it's usually been lively and full of goals. Their last few encounters have seen scores like 4-3 and 2-3, suggesting it's rarely a quiet, low-scoring affair. Given that Nottingham Forest are in better form and playing at home, while Newcastle are really struggling to get results, this looks like a match the home team should have the upper hand in. It feels like a game that could go to Nottingham Forest.
