Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest Picks, Parlay
Looking at the last five games, United is one of the best offensive teams across the top five leagues in Europe. With 11 goals, only Bayern (16 goals) has a better output during this period.
Ruben Amorim was criticized for his team’s performance in the first rounds, but he quickly turned things around. United looks like its old self and is climbing the ranks rapidly. With three straight wins, the Red Devils are just two points away from Bournemouth in second place.
Meanwhile, since sacking Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest has won just a single game across ten matches. Their 2-0 success over Porto showed some potential, but it quickly diminished after a 2-0 loss against Bournemouth.
Sean Dyche has a big challenge ahead, and will need more time to restore the team’s morale. The team seems to be struggling for motivation, with just one goal in their last five matches, a low only matched by St. Pauli in Europe’s top-5 leagues.
Amorim’s system is starting to take shape, and the struggling Forest is an ideal target to extend the winning streak.

Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest Betting Analysis
Sean Dyche takes charge of his first Premier League game at the City Ground since becoming Nottingham Forest manager.
Forest was beaten 2-0 away at Bournemouth last weekend. Chances were in short supply as Dyche strives to make his team more defensively solid after a disastrous spell under Ange Postecoglou.
Manchester United comes into this game on the back of three straight wins. The team impressed in a 4-2 success over Brighton at Old Trafford. But there is work to be done if the Red Devils are to compete in Europe next season.
Amorim’s team has had success by playing direct balls to the forwards in recent weeks. However, Dyche’s team is well-equipped to deal with this threat, so this should be a closely contested game, just as the Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United odds suggest.
