Last season, the teams traded away victories—Forest won 3-1 at home, while Newcastle exacted revenge with a 3-2 win in February.

Nottingham Forest 

The Forest returned to the top division, but among the strongest teams in England, Nottingham Forest appears quite uncertain. As a result, the team is constantly battling for survival and finished last season in 17th place, just six points clear of the relegation zone.

In the opening match of the new Premier League season, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team started with a home draw against Bournemouth. Forest came close to securing three points but conceded a goal in the closing moments. However, last weekend, the Forest delighted their fans with a narrow 1-0 away victory over Southampton.

Newcastle United

The Magpies returned to the Champions League last season, but participation in the elite European competition significantly impacted the team’s potential. Newcastle United was eliminated from the Champions League right after the group stage and missed out on European competition in the league. The team finished in 7th place and can now fully focus on the Premier League.

The “black-and-whites” began the new season with a home victory over Southampton, winning 1-0. Despite playing with a man down from the 28th minute, Newcastle managed to score and hold on to the win. However, last weekend, in their away match against Bournemouth, the team dropped points, drawing 1-1.
