Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United: betting odds 1 Apr 2025

The Matchday 30 clash in the Premier League between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United will take place on April 1 at the City Ground. Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester United: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Nottingham Forest

Nuno Espírito Santo's side is unbeaten in three consecutive league matches. The team drew with Arsenal (0-0), then defeated Manchester City (1-0) and Ipswich (4-2). The club continues to hold the third spot in the standings, maintaining a six-point lead over Manchester City, who are in fifth place.

  • At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Nottingham Forest's last 8 Premier League matches.
  • The club has not lost in 12 of their last 15 league games (10 wins and 2 draws).
  • Nottingham Forest has conceded no more than one goal in 7 of their last 8 home Premier League matches.

Predicted lineup for Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1)

Matz Sels – Ola Aina, Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams – Elliot Anderson, Nicolas Dominguez – Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi – Chris Wood.

Forward Chris Wood is likely to miss the game due to injury.

Manchester United

The Red Devils are unbeaten in four consecutive Premier League matches. The only challenging game was at home against Arsenal, but the team managed to take points from one of the season's leaders with a 1-1 draw. In the other three matches, the opponents were from the lower part of the standings. As a result, the team defeated Ipswich (3-2) and Leicester (3-0), and drew with Everton (1-1). The club is in 13th place, already 20 points clear of the relegation zone.

  • At least two goals have been scored in 20 of Manchester United's last 22 Premier League games.
  • The club has not scored in the first half in 7 of their last 8 away league matches.
  • Two or more goals have been scored in the second half in 6 of the Red Devils' last 8 Premier League matches.

Predicted lineup for Manchester United (5-3-2)

Andre Onana – Ayden Heaven, Matthijs de Ligt, Victor Lindelof, Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot – Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes – Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund.

Due to injuries, defenders Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, and Luke Shaw, goalkeepers Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir, forward Amad Diallo, and midfielder Kobbie Mainoo are out.

Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester United: Match Prediction

In the upcoming match, I favor the hosts. Nottingham Forest is having an excellent season and could even qualify for the Champions League. The team is in the top four and has a chance to finish in a high second place. Nuno Espírito Santo's side plays strongly both at home and away, having lost only two of their 14 home matches in the 2024/25 Premier League (8 wins and 4 draws). Additionally, Nottingham Forest has conceded just 10 goals at home – the best record in the league.

For Manchester United, it will be challenging to finish even in the top half of the table. Ruben Amorim needs to develop a new tactic that can be implemented next season. Notably, in the first round, Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United at their ground with a 3-2 scoreline. It's unlikely that Nuno Espírito Santo's team will concede as many this time, but the club's attacking power will be weakened due to Chris Wood's injury. However, I expect a similar outcome.

My prediction – Nottingham Forest with a handicap (0)

Nottingham Forest — Manchester United betting tips 1 Apr 2025

Nottingham Forest continue to push on all fronts, while Manchester United are clinging to relevance solely through their Europa League campaign. Nottingham Forest are considered to have a slight advantage in this match, though their likelihood of winning at home might not be as high as some would anticipate.

Nottingham Forest are now firmly third in the Premier League and have also reached the FA Cup semi-finals, having edged Brighton on penalties (4:3) after a goalless 120 minutes. The lack of goals was no surprise given the absence of top scorer Chris Wood, who remains sidelined with a groin injury picked up on international duty. To make matters worse, midfield engine Morgan Gibbs-White took a heavy knock in that cup tie and remains a doubt, with a final decision expected just before kick-off.

Manchester United, sitting 13th in the league, crashed out of the FA Cup earlier and haven’t played for two weeks. The break hasn’t exactly helped the injury situation — the list is still worryingly long. But there is some good news: Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro have cleared fitness tests and will be available. That gives Erik ten Hag a bit of flexibility in defence, which is much-needed. Against Leicester City, Manchester United lined up with a patched-together back three of Matthijs de Ligt, Victor Lindelöf, and 18-year-old Arsenal academy product Ayden Heaven. They managed a clean sheet on that occasion, but keeping Nottingham Forest at bay may be a tougher task.

With key absentees on both sides, especially in attack and midfield, the quality in the final third may suffer.
