The Australian has yet to taste victory since taking over, with Forest supporters voicing their frustration as unwanted records continue to tumble.

Newcastle, meanwhile, responded perfectly to the pain of their stoppage-time loss against Arsenal by sweeping past Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 in the Champions League.0

Eddie Howe’s men have made a stuttering start in the Premier League, but they return to St James’ Park aiming to put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Newcastle have dominated this fixture, winning six of the last seven league meetings with Forest, including the last three in a row.0

The Magpies have also won eight of the last nine H2Hs at St James’ Park. Postecoglou’s Forest are without a win in any competition this season (D3, L5) and look vulnerable on the road.0

With momentum back on Howe’s side after their midweek European rout, a home win at 57/100 is well supported by the data.

Tip: Newcastle to win @ 57/1000

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Newcastle beats Nottingham regardless of the score.

While Newcastle have found consistency hard to come by, their matches against Forest tend to deliver goals at both ends.0

Each of the last six H2Hs has seen both sides score, and Forest’s away form continues that trend with eight of their last nine road fixtures producing goals for both teams.0

With Chris Wood always a threat against his former side, BTTS at 3/4 looks like one of the smarter options here.

Tip: Both teams to score @ 3/40

Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Newcastle and Nottingham score at least a goal each.

Goals are rarely in short supply when these two meet. Four of Newcastle’s last five home H2Hs against Forest have gone over 3.5 goals, while Forest’s defensive struggles under Postecoglou are plain to see.0

With Newcastle scoring four in midweek and Nick Woltemade pushing to join Shearer and Ferdinand in netting in his first three home league games, over 2.5 goals at 18/25 feels like strong value.

Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 18/250

Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals scored in the game between Newcastle and Nottingham.
