Nottingham Forest   -   Manchester City

On 28.04.2024, Nottingham Forest will host Manchester City in Nottingham on the 35th matchday of the England Premier League. At 03:30 PM UTC, fans in the City Ground and at home will watch Simon Hooper blow the starting whistle for this league match.

If the recent past is any indicator, we should fully expect to enjoy another hard-hitting competition during this upcoming event. Their last meeting took place on 23.09.2023. Manchester City was victorious during the last game. They scored two goals against Nottingham Forest, who scored 0. So, Nottingham Forest's fans have immense expectations from the team. Because of the fact that Manchester City won the last 2 games out of 3 against Nottingham Forest, they're favored for a victory in the upcoming match. In the last three matches of the two teams facing each other, Manchester City scored a total of 9 goals while Nottingham Forest only scored 1.

Temperatures on the matchday will probably not rise high, reaching a high of 19°C, so the players shouldn't be exhausted too soon. However, chances for rain are quite high, so they might have to deal with that.

Manchester City, currently being at one of the league's top positions, will have to defend their lead against Nottingham Forest; and since Nottingham For.'s performance in the league isn't as great (currently they're on the 17th position), this could be an fairly easy match for them.
