Nottingham vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (27 April)

Back at a very good level this season, Nottingham Forest still has a step to take before thinking about the FA Cup final. In order to reach the last square, the band at Nuno Espirito Santo had to work to take over on Luton 2-0, Exeter 2-2, qualification following penalties, Ipswich 1-1, qualification following penalties and Brighton 0-0, qualification following penalties. In the league, Nottingham Forest thwarts all the forecasts and today occupies the 4th row of the ranking with 3 points ahead of 6th place. The Champions League winner club in 1979 and 1980 has a great opportunity to find the most prestigious club competitions next year. The teammates of the Gibbs-White playmaker recently let out precious points by losing against Aston Villa 2-1 and Everton 0-1. Last Monday, they reacted on the lawn of Tottenham 1-2 . Vainqueur of this FA Cup in 2023 and unhappy finalist last year, Manchester City nourished legitimate ambitions this season.

At the previous towers, the Skyblues have respected the hierarchy to rule out Salford 8-0, Leyton Orient 1-2, Plymouth 3-1 and Bournemouth 1-2. On the other hand, they disappointed a lot in the championship. The reigning quadruple Champion of England is even under the threat of non-qualification for the next Champions League. The Cityzens are currently 3rd in the Premier League and have 4 points ahead of 6th place. More consistent for a few weeks, they have not conceded any setbacks in the last 6 days 4 victories and 2 draws. Manchester City remains on successes obtained against Crystal Palace 5-2 , Everton 0-2 and Aston Villa this week 2-1.

For this meeting, Nottingham Forest is deprived of the side of Aina, injured. However, no other absence is to be deplored. On the attacking front, should take place Chris Wood (19 PL goals) who still found the way to the nets last Monday. It is usually supported by the influential Elaga (6 goals and 9 PL passes), Gibbs-White (5 goals and 7 PL passes) and Hudson-Odoi (5 goals and 2 PL passes). In the cages, we find the old Strasbourg Matz Salts. On the Manchester City side, are lacking goalkeeper No. 1 Ederson, the Ballon d'Or Rodri , the providential striker Haaland (21 goals in SA) and the defenders potentially holders Stones and Aké, all insufficiently delivered from their physical seeds.

The future ex-Cityzen of Bruyne (3 goals and 7 passes in PL) has found colors for a few weeks. It should be established this Sunday in support of the winter recruit Marmoush (6 goals in 12 PL games). To occupy the wings, Pep Guardiola has several options with the dribblers Savinho (1 goal and 8 PL passes) and Doku (3 goals and 6 PL passes), the metronome Bernardo Silva (3 goals and 4 PL passes) and the young McATEE (3 goals in PL). The probable compositions for Nottingham Forest - Manchester City: Nottingham Forest: Salts - Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Dominguez, Anderson - Elanga, Gibbs -White, Hudson -Odoi - Wood.manchester City: Ortega - Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly (or Akanji) - Nico, Kovacic - Savinho Silva) Bruyne, Doku (or McATEE) - Marmoush.
