Their attack has been great in these matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 6 matches, but their defense has not been great as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 league matches as well as coming off of a match which they allowed 4 goals to Luton Town at home. Newcastle is going to be pushing for a win in this match after drawing 4-4 at home to Luton Town in their last match and they will also be coming for Nottingham Forest here since they lost to them at home 3-1 just a few weeks ago. Nottingham Forest has not been good on defense recently so they are going to concede against this potent Newcastle attack, but Nottingham Forest will also find the net at home as they have been playing well and Newcastle has also been conceding a lot. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
