Manchester City – Nottingham Forest. Forecast, announcement for the England Championship match

On December 4, the Etihad will host a match of the 14th round of the English Premier League, in which “Manchester City” will meet “Nottingham Forest”. The match will start at 21:30 Kyiv time.

Manchester City

Last season’s team could not repeat the treble in 2023. No, there were new trophies, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup victory, but they cannot be compared to the Champions League and FA Cup titles lost in 2024. And only in the EPL then it was possible to maintain positions. In the new cycle, it seems that the townspeople, even after Rodri’s injury, started, albeit not brilliantly, but decently. And then there was a record failure for Guardiola: defeats to Tottenham in the League Cup (with relegation from this tournament) and Premier League, failures also with Bournemouth and Brighton in the domestic arena, 1:4 with Lisbon Sporting in the Champions League. It seemed that enlightenment was coming with Feyenoord – they were leading 3:0 against him. And missed the same amount in the last 20 minutes! Well, Liverpool deservedly won 2:0 on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest

The club returned to the Premier League after a long break in 2022. And last season he saved himself, taking 17th place. The decision to mercilessly fire Steve Cooper, who was raising the project from the Championship, and invite Nuna Espiritu Santa helped. The Portuguese even managed to pick up points – however, at that time there were 3 very weak outsiders in the Premier League. But the specialist did not limit himself to this and now his wards started very successfully, staying at the top of the table. Suffice it to say that it was this team that won against Liverpool, and on the road. But in November, Chris Wood and company lost without a chance to Newcastle and Arsenal in a row – before that they were second only to Fulham. But Ipswich, despite the feats of the opponent’s goalkeeper, scored the only goal that became the winner.

Statistics of personal meetings

Back in the Premier League, the Foresters took just one draw with the champions for three defeats.

Forecast

Bookmakers all believe that the champion will come to his senses. But he has obvious problems in defense and an interesting opponent – we bet on both of them to score (coefficient – 1.83).
