Manchester City hosts Nottingham Forest in an English Premier League matchup of strength and weakness. As the defending champions, Man City have introduced Norwegian shot-stopper Harland this season, which has greatly increased their strength. Moreover, the "Blue Moon Army" has never been weak against weak teams, and previously beat newly promoted Benfica by 4 goals, so it is expected that they will also win this game by a large margin. However, City's defense is not solid, with a total of 4 goals or more in their last 5 home matches, so if they can score another 3.5 goals, they will be the favorites to score. (Now 622 live at 2.30am on Thursday)
Harland can't do it alone.
Since Harland joined Manchester City, the team's attacking power to further enhance the Norwegian international stature, speed, making the City attack more three-dimensional. "Blue Moon Army" last game against Crystal Palace, despite trailing by two goals, but still 4-2 reversal win, Harland head kicks into 3 goals, one of the ball is to force the other two defenders to complete the shot, can be called the "stroke of God", the ordinary people are difficult to stop him! The goal.
However, while City is attacking, the defense frequently makes mistakes; the recent visit to Newcastle, surprisingly, conceded 3 goals, and the last game against Crystal Palace conceded two goals, which also exposed the team is not good at defending corners. With the injuries of two stalwarts, Niger Aki and Naby Keita, Pep Guardiola will not be able to adjust his defense in the short term, making it difficult for the team to keep a clean sheet.
Nottingham Forest returned to the Premier League after 23 years, still need time to adapt, the current results are not good, only 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses in 4 league matches, the last game home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, the visit to Manchester City, I'm afraid it is difficult to get back.
