Nottingham Forest v Manchester United Betting Tips [2 April 2025]

Nottingham Forest will be looking to get their season a notch better when they host Manchester United next in the Premier League. On 54 points, Forest are top-four favorites while United, placed 13th, are seven points below the top half. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Nottingham Forest’s campaign got better on Saturday with a win over Brighton in the FA Cup quarter-finals. After a 0-0 draw, they did it through post-match penalties for their fifth unbeaten outing.

For a second straight league game, they’ll be hosting a Manchester club, after beating City 1-0 last time. Forest are unbeaten in eight home league matches, winning six.

Manchester United arrive for this game having beaten Leicester City 3-0 before the international break. They will come looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time this season.

In their last seven matches in all competitions, they haven't lost in regular time and this will be key for their confidence. Matters haven't been really straightforward for the Red Devils when away from home, especially in the league.

They come here having won just four of their 14 away league games this season. Two of those four wins were against teams in the bottom three. In the reverse meeting with Nottingham, United lost 3-2 at home.

Nottingham Forest’s opening matches at home this season weren’t their best, failing to win any of the first four. After that, however, they’ve only lost once in the 13 that followed. That places them on a confident footing coming into this fixture.

They will be boosted too, by the fact they beat Manchester United in the last two league meetings. Manchester United have been poor on the road all season and might struggle here as well. Our prediction for Nottingham Forest v Manchester United is that Nottingham Forest wins the match.
