The Magpies were dropping like a stone, since going out of the Champions League to Barcelona in the last 16. With Eddie Howe’s position as manager under some scrutiny. With European qualification a near impossibility, ensuring they finish above fierce rivals Sunderland. Tyne-Wear bragging rights could be what they salvage from the campaign. Can Howe’s men prey on their next opponents still licking their wounds from their Europa League semi final exit? Nottingham Forest will have to move on fast from their disappointing 4-0 loss to Aston Villa in Europe in midweek. They will feel they require one more win to confirm their Premier League status, having battled relegation all season. Morgan Gibbs-White may yet still sit out, having suffered a serious head injury against Chelsea last weekend. He was sorely missed in midweek, but it could mean James McAtee makes a second consecutive start alongside Elliot Anderson and Nico Dominguez in midfield. Despite their loss on Thursday, Forest have won 13 points from a possible 15 catapulting them six points clear of the relegation zone. They’re top of the form table over the last six matches. This one looks a close encounter. Both sides will be desperate to avoid defeat which could lend itself to a score draw. Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle betting tips Score draw Thursday night’s 4-0 defeat was the first time Nottingham Forest have hit a blank since mid March, a run stretching 10 games. Forest have been on a tear as they’ve got up off their haunches to lift themselves six points clear of the relegation zone. But after losing in midweek, they’ll be desperate to put at least a point on the board as they watch West Ham and Spurs scrap it out below them. Newcastle had three 2-1 reverses on the spin before, losing 1-0 to Arsenal in late April. Both teams scoring featured again in their 3-1 win over Brighton, which renewed a recurring theme for the Magpies in 2026. Wood on a mission Chris Wood plundered 20 league goals last season as Forest finished seventh. He’s been a big miss to the team in recent months having suffered a knee injury in the match against FC Porto. Wood scored the only goal in the semi-final first leg against Villa, which looked crucial at the time. The New Zealand striker is back and could well be the man Forest look to, to fire them further clear of the drop zone.
