Man Utd to win (-1 handicap)

Man Utd have won two of their last three Premier League matches by a margin of two goals or more.

Nottingham Forest will take on Man Utd on Saturday, 1 November, as Ruben Amorim's side look to make it four Premier League wins on the bounce.

Indeed, the visitors come into the match playing the best football of Amorim's tenure so far, and they won't want to lose any momentum ahead of a big match away at Tottenham next weekend.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are searching for their first league win under Sean Dyche in what is the ex-Burnley manager's first home game in charge of the club.

As part of this week's round of Premier League betting tips, check out our Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd prediction below.

Key Stats

  • Man Utd have won their last three Premier League matches.
  • Nottingham Forest have lost their last four Premier League matches.
  • Bryan Mbeumo has scored three goals in his last two Premier League appearances.

Correct score prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-3 Man Utd

Things are starting to click for Ruben Amorim's Man Utd, and their 4-2 win over Brighton last weekend was frustrating for the Seagulls. Forest, meanwhile, aren't showing enough promise to suggest they can get anything from this match.

Nottingham Forest preview: Wood to face a late fitness test

Chris Wood is considered touch-and-go for this one after the experienced striker missed the defeat to Bournemouth last weekend. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the match last weekend and is a doubt for Saturday. Ola Aina and Dilane Bakwa will both definitely miss out, with the pair stuck in the treatment room.

Predicted lineup: Sels (GK), Savona, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Luiz, Anderson, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus

Last five results

  • Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest
  • Nottingham Forest 2-0 Porto
  • Nottingham Forest 0-3 Chelsea
  • Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest
  • Nottingham Forest 2-3 Midtjylland

Man Utd preview: An unchanged XI?

Ruben Amorim has little reason to change anything on Saturday, but Mason Mount and Harry Maguire could both return if the pair are deemed fit enough. Lisandro Martinez has returned to full training this week, but Amorim has confirmed that the Argentinian defender won't play any part at the City Ground.

Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko

Last five results

  • Man Utd 4-2 Brighton
  • Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
  • Man Utd 2-0 Sunderland
  • Brentford 3-1 Man Utd
  • Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea

Player to watch: Matheus Cunha

Matheus Cunha may only have one goal to his name in a Man Utd shirt, but the Brazilian has comfortably been one of the club's best players this season. His ability to take the ball anywhere on the pitch and drive United up the field is invaluable, and now that he has got his first goal for the club, the floodgates could open.
