Betting Tips
Two teams trying to bounce from dreadful Premier League defeats last weekend will square up in an FA Cup fifth-round showdown when Nottingham Forest visit Manchester United at the City Ground on Wednesday night. The Red Devils, who were FA Cup finalists last season, will be out for vengeance against the Tricky Trees after losing 2-1 in the top league to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at the end of December.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Manchester United will go to Nottingham Forest this week in search of an eighth FA Cup quarter-final appearance in ten years.
The Red Devils, last year’s lost finalists, are looking to extend Erik ten Hag’s impressive record in domestic cups by winning this competition for the 13th time.
Nottingham Forest are in the relegation zone after losing 4-2 against Aston Villa on Saturday, resulting in one of our man Mark’s bets. The Tricky Trees will now shift their attention to the FA Cup in midweek, where they will face 12-time winners Manchester United.
The Red Devils’ five-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end on Saturday with a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham. Erik ten Hag’s side has no time to feel sorry for themselves as they travel to West Bridgford on Wednesday in search of a place in the FA Cup last eight.
The Red Devils have not tasted an away defeat since a 2-1 league loss at the City Ground against Forest in December, but they will expect to get their revenge this midweek given they had won 11 games in a row against the Tricky Trees before that result.
With no replay and the possibility of extra time and penalties on Wednesday night, the hosts will hope that a large crowd under the floodlights can propel them to only their second quarter-final appearance in 28 seasons.

Verdict
Nottingham Forest has struggled to win recently, but not to score goals. The Tricky Trees have scored at least one goal in each of their last six games, and bets on “BTTS YES” have only lost once during that time.
Manchester United does not have a problem scoring goals, but their defense has been all over the place recently. The Red Devils have kept only one clean sheet in their previous seven games in all competitions, with both teams scoring in six of them.
While Manchester United’s defeat against Fulham on Saturday defined their season thus far, they should be able to deliver at least one blow against a vulnerable Nottingham Forest side on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils have scored at least one goal in each of their last ten matches across all competitions, with one coming against Forest at this site at the end of 2023. In reality, under Nuno Espirito Santo’s leadership, the Tricky Trees have only kept two clean sheets in 13 games, conceding multiple goals in eight of them.
