Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City: team preview
How each side is likely to approach the game. Confirmed line-ups are released about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Nottingham Forest
City Ground, Nottingham
Nottingham Forest are a mid-table side who are hard to beat at home but can struggle to create against organised defences, which keeps their games tighter.
Away
Manchester City
Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Manchester City are among the title contenders. Expect them to control possession away at City Ground and push Forest back, so their chance count, and the corners market, tends to run high.

Draw no bet
Man City at 58% on the two-way split; your stake comes back if it ends level.

Betting notes
How to bet on Forest vs Man City
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
With the draw only 25%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Man City on the Forest +0.5 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
- 02
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
- 03
The corners range is 9-12. The favourite tends to win most of them while the underdog sits deep, so team corners can beat the match total.
- 04
Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Forest vs Man City and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
