Nottingham Forest vs Man City odds and score prediction

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...

There is a very good case for opposing Manchester City. The timing of this fixture plays a huge part.

This particular gameweek, the final one before the November international break, carries a big warning sign for anyone looking to follow the formbook.

For the likes of Manchester City, this is their ninth game in the last month. That comes on the back of an exhausting international break in which plenty of players were asked to play four times in 10 days. Eventually, the pressure valve has to hit the red zone. Fatigue creeps in, sharpness drops and performances can suffer.

History suggests this is a gameweek when strange results are more likely than the market expects. City themselves lost 2-1 at home to Brentford in 2022/23, when the Bees were 20/1. Chelsea were held at home by Burnley in 2021/22 despite being priced at 1/7 to win, while Ipswich beat Tottenham at 8/1 in 2024/25 and Sunderland drew 2-2 with Arsenal last season when they were 1/3.

The numbers back up the theory. Blindly backing every odds-on favourite in this particular pre-break gameweek across the last five seasons would have lost 3.4 units. That is a nasty little trend for short-priced favourites to carry into the weekend.

Nottingham Forest are worth a swing at 7/2 with Sky Bet. They are due a bit of variance in their favour with the expected points table showing they should have picked up nine points more than they've got. Oliver Glasner will get them winning. And it could start here.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
