Recent home/away form

Manchester United

Manchester United have been in formidable form at Old Trafford, showcasing an impressive run of five consecutive home victories across all competitions. The Red Devils have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting an impressive 18 times in their last six home matches, averaging a remarkable 3 goals per game. Their defensive solidity has also been noteworthy, with three clean sheets in this period and only conceding 0.83 goals per game. The standout performance came in their League Cup clash against Leicester, where they hammered the Foxes 5-2 in a high-scoring affair. United's attacking prowess is further emphasised by the fact that 67% of their recent home games have seen over 2.5 goals, providing great entertainment for the Old Trafford faithful.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with a noticeable decline in their last two outings. The Reds have suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats against top-tier opponents Manchester City and Arsenal, indicating a struggle against stronger sides. However, prior to this dip, Forest enjoyed a four-match unbeaten run on the road, which included impressive results such as a 3-1 victory at Leicester and a surprising 1-0 win at Liverpool. Their ability to score and concede has been evident, with 67% of their away matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite the recent setbacks, Forest have shown resilience, managing to score in four of their six away games and securing points against tough opposition like Chelsea and Brighton. The contrast between their early success and recent struggles suggests a team capable of competing away from home but currently facing challenges against the league's elite.
