Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City prediction 2024-04-28
Sunday’s football game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 35. The Reds continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels, but they are still seen as big underdogs in the clash against the title holders. Fit-again forward Anthony Elanga is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Willy Boly and Taiwo Awoniyi remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Citizens, on the other hand, are determined to defend their Premier League trophy and seeing that Pep Guardiola welcomes key attacker Erling Haaland back to the starting XI, we are tempted to place our bets on the reigning champions.
Prediction: 1-3 (Man City)
