Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Sunday’s FA Cup fixture:
Nottingham Forest v Manchester City – Sunday, 4.30pm
- Winners of this competition back in 1898 and 1959, Nottingham Forest would love to conclude their unbelievable season with another FA Cup to add to their trophy cabinet, they are just one game away from securing their first FA Cup final since 1991 under Brian Clough.
- Nuno Espirito Santo’s side had just started to struggle in the league with back-to-back defeats putting their European ambitions under huge pressure, but a 2-1 win away to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday evening has put the Tricky Trees back on track in this potential historic campaign.
- Nottingham Forest should be full of confidence, especially after beating Man City 1-0 back in March, they’d love to repeat that performance at Wembley on Sunday, this is just the second time Forest have played at the “new” Wembley, having beaten Huddersfield here back in 2022 to reach the Premier League.
——————————– - As ever, Manchester City look to have hit form at the right time, only this season it’ll only help towards the FA Cup and a top five finish in the Premier League.
- It’s been a poor season given Manchester City’s standards but Pep Guardiola’s side head to Wembley off the back of a huge win against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening, a result which puts a European spot back in their hands with just four games left to play, it’s now seven games unbeaten for Man City, their last defeat came against no other than Nottingham Forest.
- This will be Manchester City’s thirtieth game at the “new” Wembley Stadium, they’ve won fifteen of their twenty-nine visits so far within 90 minutes. In terms of pure success at Wembley in those twenty-nine games, City have come out on top in nineteen of those.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Manchester City To Win, Nottingham Forest 1-2 Manchester City.
