Newcastle will host Nottingham Forest on Tuesday (26th), the Christmas season's biggest game in the English Premier League. Newcastle are full of injuries this season, and their performance has been affected by their exit from the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup, which has dealt a huge blow to their morale. With an intensive fixture list and a mourning army, they may not be able to tart up the game quickly, so a half-time draw is worth backing. (Now 621 Tuesday 8:30pm Live)
Newcastle have suffered a complete collapse due to a combination of poor form and multiple fronts. They have lost five of their last six matches, including the UEFA Europa League group stage exit and a 12-yard defeat in the EFL Cup, as well as a 0-1 loss to Luton in their last league match. With Zoolander, Nick Purby and Zurbelock still injured, the team is expected to play a solid game to avoid another blow to their confidence.
Nottingham Forest's recent performance is also unsatisfactory, the leader of the team Guoba was fired a few days ago, and replaced by the Portuguese manager Newnu, but the team's decline can not be halted, the last home game lost 2-3 to Ponemouth. Newcastle is a defensive coach and will be looking for a clean sheet in the first half of the match. Newcastle have been slow to catch up with their opponents in their last 4 home games, so they will be looking for a half-time draw.
