Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle prediction

Despite winning the first leg, Nottingham Forest's European dream is over after they were hammered 4-0 by Aston Villa in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final on Thursday.

That ended a ten-game unbeaten run in all competitions though, and they are currently riding a three-game winning streak in the Premier League which has given them an excellent chance of remaining in the division.

Newcastle ended their torrid four-game losing streak in the Premier League with a 3-1 success against Brighton last weekend, although there is still a fair degree of pressure on Eddie Howe following a hugely underwhelming league campaign.

This could be fortunate timing for them to face Forest though, after the latter's Thursday night exertions. There could be something of a hangover from their European exit, so opting for draw no bet on the visitors is worth a look.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle tip: Newcastle draw no bet
