Recent form

Manchester City

Manchester City are currently experiencing a dire run of form, finding themselves winless in their last seven matches across all competitions. The reigning Premier League champions have suffered a remarkable five consecutive defeats, a streak unprecedented in recent years for the club. Their defensive woes are particularly concerning, having conceded a staggering 17 goals in their last six games, with no clean sheets during this period. The 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur and the 4-1 defeat to Sporting CP in the Champions League stand out as particularly heavy losses. City's usual attacking prowess has also taken a hit, managing to score just six goals in these six matches. With over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of these games and both teams scoring in 67%, City's matches have been high-scoring affairs, albeit largely to their detriment.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have demonstrated impressive form in their recent matches, securing four victories in their last six games and propelling themselves to a commendable 6th position in the Premier League. The team enjoyed a notable three-match winning streak before suffering back-to-back losses against Newcastle and Arsenal. Forest have been particularly strong at home, winning their last two matches at the City Ground without conceding. Their attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 1.5 goals scored per game, while their defence has been relatively solid, conceding just over one goal per match. The 3-0 victory over West Ham stands out as their most comprehensive win during this period, showcasing Forest's ability to dominate opponents on their day. With 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Forest have been involved in some entertaining encounters, making them an exciting team to watch in the Premier League this season.

Recent home/away form

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a notable downturn in their last two matches. The Citizens enjoyed a strong run of four consecutive home victories, including an impressive 5-0 thrashing of Sparta Praha in the Champions League, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. However, their form took a sharp turn with a surprising 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, followed by a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord. Despite these recent setbacks, City's attacking prowess remains evident, with an average of 2.33 goals scored per game across their last six home matches. Their defensive record has been less consistent, conceding 10 goals in this period, including four in a single match against Spurs. Interestingly, 83% of these games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that City's home matches are often high-scoring affairs.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have shown impressive form away from home in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins against Southampton, Liverpool, and Leicester. The victory at Anfield stands out as a particularly significant result, demonstrating Forest's ability to compete against top-tier opposition. Their resilience is further evidenced by two draws against Brighton and Chelsea, both challenging away fixtures. Despite a recent 3-0 loss to Arsenal, Forest's overall away performance has been strong, with 8 goals scored and 7 conceded across these six matches. Their defensive solidity is highlighted by two clean sheets, while their attacking prowess is reflected in the 1.33 goals scored per game. The balanced nature of their matches is shown by the even split between games with over and under 2.5 goals, as well as the 50% rate of both teams scoring.
