Nottingham Forest vs Man City betting tips
Nottingham Forest host Man City on Saturday at 5:30pm. It’s a big game for both sides, and you can check out our betting tips below:
- Nottingham Forest vs Man City tip 1 – Erling Haaland to score two or more goals @ 3/1
- Nottingham Forest vs Man City tip 2 – Man City to win and over 7.5 Man City corners @ 7/2
- Nottingham Forest vs Man City tip 3 – Elliot Anderson to be shown a card @ 3/1
Haaland To Run Riot Against Struggling Forest
Erling Haaland has nine goals in nine league games this season, more than anyone else in the division, and he’s up to 121 in 141 in the Premier League overall. He did draw a blank in the 1-0 home defeat to Brighton last time out, which doesn’t happen often. We’re backing him to score two or more goals.
Forest have let in 12 in nine and have been prone to a costly error, like the loose pass back that let Ipswich level at Portman Road. City need a reaction after two straight league defeats, and the quickest route to one is through their number nine. He bagged two against Ipswich in October, so it doesn’t take many sights of goal.

City To Pin Forest Back And Pile Up The Corners
City have won seven of their nine league games and scored 20 goals, so the win leg of this bet is the sensible bit. The corners should follow. They take around six a game in the league, rising to 6.5 on the road, and when they get Forest pinned in, the set pieces tend to arrive in bunches. We want a City win and eight or more City corners.
It isn’t a bet without risk. Brighton beat City 1-0 last Saturday, and another flat display would put the win leg in danger. Forest will also fancy a go on the break, having outshot Ipswich 17-7 in their draw at Portman Road. Even so, they’ve scored just six league goals, and City should have more of the ball and more of the corners.

Anderson Could Land In The Book On Emotional Return
Elliot Anderson has become a regular in Enzo Maresca’s City midfield since leaving Forest in the summer, and he’s already been booked twice this season. Over his Premier League career he has 23 yellow cards in 127 appearances, so he’s no stranger to the referee’s notebook. Our tip is for him to be shown a card.
Then there’s the occasion. The City Ground crowd watched him run the middle of the park for two seasons and won’t be rolling out the red carpet, while Forest are second from bottom and desperate for something. Add a few heated tackles and an emotional return, and a booking at the right price is worth a small punt.
