Nottingham vs MU Prediction, 10:00 p.m. November 1: City Ground waits for the Red Devils to break the curse

TPO - Football commentary Nottingham vs MU, round 10 Premier League, at 10:00 p.m. on November 1. Information on forces, expected lineup, predicted score. With the high performance of the pillars and the obvious improvement in playing style, MU is expected to continue its winning streak at City Ground.

Pre-match comments

After 39 bleak days under Ange Postecoglou, Nottingham Forest finally found some light with a 2-0 win over Porto in the Europa League, a promising debut for new manager Sean Dyche. However, the joy was short-lived. Last weekend, Forest fell 0-2 to Bournemouth, continuing to stagnate in the relegation zone and 3 points from safety.

The “Tricky Trees” are going through the most difficult period of the season: losing 6/7 recent matches in the Premier League (drawing 1), including 4 consecutive matches without scoring a goal. If they lose again, Forest will lose 5 consecutive matches in the top flight for the first time since October 2022, and if they continue to fail to score, the darkest scenario since… January 2004 can be repeated.

Coach Sean Dyche is famous for his pragmatism, but the statistics show that his teams have limited attacking ability. In the last 14 matches in the Premier League, Dyche's teams have failed to score in 10. On average, his teams have only achieved an efficiency of 0.97 goals/match, the lowest among coaches who have managed 150 or more matches in this tournament.

However, Forest still have reason to believe in a surprise. They have won all three recent Premier League matches against MU, scoring a total of 6 goals. The last time the red and white team had a series of 4 consecutive wins against the Red Devils was… more than a century ago (1909 - 1910).

On the other side of the front line, MU is living in a contrasting atmosphere. Since round 3 of the Premier League, only Arsenal (16 points) have won more points than Ruben Amorim's team (15 points). During the same period, MU is also the team that scored the most goals in the tournament (14 goals).

Having been on the brink of losing his job after a 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the end of September, coach Amorim has helped the Red Devils revive strongly. Three consecutive victories against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton not only brought MU back to the European Cup group but also rekindled the fighting spirit of the whole team. Bryan Mbeumo shone brightly with a double against Brighton, while Matheus Cunha also scored his first goal for his new team.

Ranked 6th in the table and one of three teams to have won all of October (along with Arsenal and Aston Villa), MU can definitely break away to second place if they continue to maintain this form. However, the away field problem is still a big question mark. The Red Devils have only 4 points after 4 away trips (won Liverpool, drew 1, lost 2), and especially, they have lost both of their most recent matches at the City Ground.

If they cannot break the curse this weekend, MU risks repeating a streak of 3 consecutive defeats at Nottingham Forest's field, something that has not happened since the 1960s.

Force information

Nottingham Forest are still without last season's main striker Chris Wood due to a knee injury and new signing Oleksandr Zinchenko due to a groin injury. Ola Aina, Dilane Bakwa and Angus Gunn are also absent.

On the MU side, coach Amorim hopes Harry Maguire can return after missing the win over Brighton due to a minor injury. Lisandro Martinez has returned to training but is not yet ready to play.

Expected lineup

Nottingham: Sels; Savona, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams; Anderson, Luis; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Jesus

MU: Lammens; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko

Score prediction: Nottingham 1- 2 MU
