[Premier League Prediction] Manchester United was beginning to establish Old Trafford as a true fortress before the World Cup, and they should be able to dominate Nottingham Forest in their first league game following the conclusion of the international competition on Tuesday.

Man Utd vs Nottm Forest Prediction: Hard pill to swallow

Man Utd and Nottingham Forest went head-to-head in an exciting midweek League Cup showdown! Despite the Red Devils trouncing their opponents 8-1 last time round, this week's competition promised no easy victory for either team - with both eventually emerging triumphant to advance through Round 2.

Man Utd form

After a difficult start to the season, Manchester United have made an impressive surge over their past 12 matches. With 8 wins and 2 draws, they've managed to close in on the Top 4 with 3 points as well as win some statement victories against both Arsenal (3-1) and Liverpool (2-1). The standout performance of Bruno Fernandes appears largely responsible for this remarkable resurgence which has seen them unbeaten across 11 outings. They travel into their last match hoping that it may be enough to push them further up the table from 5th place onwards.

Man Utd form

Manchester United are dominating the Premier League preseason with their 4 recent wins and impressive 10 goals. With talented new additions such as Antony, Lisandro Martínez, and Christian Eriksen performing up to expectations at Old Trafford stadium, they have every reason to be confident ahead of their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest in the round of 16.

Nottingham Forest form

After a prolonged spell in the Championship, Nottingham Forest have finally secured their return to England's top-flight football for 2022/23. Despite having made considerable investments into the club prior to this season, they are still facing relegation woes and currently sitting just one point behind safety with 13 points from 15 matches played. Nevertheless, there can be some optimism taken away looking at the recent form; The Reds have accumulated two Wins, two Draws and only one Loss from their last five games - most notably a 1-0 victory over reigning European champions Liverpool FC.

Nottingham Forest form

Nottingham Forest has been unable to convert their home-court advantage into the productive form on the road, as they have failed to secure a single victory in 5 consecutive away matches. What's more, their goal-keeping has come under question with 16 balls requiring retrieval from inside the net while no goals were scored by either side of attack during those fixtures. Indeed it appears that Nottingham Forest faces an uphill battle when facing Manchester United at Old Trafford and beyond.

Man Utd vs Nottm Forest Betting Tips

Man Utd to Win-to-Nil

Man Utd has a very strong record against Nottingham Forest, winning all five of their previous league encounters. The hosts have won three of their previous five competitive and non-competitive games, keeping a clean sheet in their most recent game against Burnley, therefore we're betting on Man Utd to win and maintain a clean sheet on Tuesday. Nottingham Forest has dropped three of its previous five games overall, and they appear to be in trouble at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford to Score

With a goal against Burnley in midweek, Rashford made his United team debut after a strong World Cup for England. You can see why we are picking the 25-year-old to score against Nottingham Forest this week. The England international leads Man Utd in scoring this season with 4 goals in the Premier League alone. He has also scored twice in the League Cup and three times in the Europa League.

Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest Best Tips From Betimate

• Manchester United to win: Yes

Rashford scored in the 2-0 League Cup victory against Burley after returning from the World Cup, and we anticipate that the England international will continue to improve in the second half of the season.

Rashford, although not getting the start in the majority of the games, was one of England's top performers in Qatar. Rashford typically responded when Southgate called on him, scoring three goals before the squad was eliminated by France in the Quarterfinals.

We are betting on the Wythenshawe favorite to score against Nottingham Forest and assist United to get all three points in this post-Christmas match. The United forward has scored four league goals this season, leading his team in scoring.
