Stats for this game
Matchup Newcastle VS Nottingham Forest
Both sides can overturn expectations
Newcastle and Nottingham Forest have traded decisive results across league and cup settings. Newcastle won 4–3 away in the League Cup on 20 September 2011 and 3–1 at St James’ Park on 30 December 2016, but Forest won 2–1 at home on 2 December 2016 and 3–1 at Newcastle in the League Cup on 23 August 2017. Forest’s 3–1 home cup victory on 29 August 2018 again showed how quickly venue expectation can be overturned.
Premier League meetings add volatility
Newcastle’s 2–0 home win on 6 August 2022 was followed by a 2–1 away success at Forest on 17 March 2023. Forest then won 3–1 at St James’ Park on 26 December 2023, but Newcastle answered with a 3–2 victory at Forest on 10 February 2024 and a 3–1 away win on 10 November 2024. The teams drew 1–1 in the League Cup on 28 August 2024, Newcastle won 4–3 at home on 23 February 2025 and added 2–0 there on 5 October 2025, before a 1–1 draw at Forest on 10 May 2026. The balance is open enough for neither venue to guarantee control. A future meeting will ask whether Newcastle can turn home pressure into another margin or Forest can again produce an effective away response.
