Betting notes
How to bet on Newcastle vs Forest
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
The corners range is 10-13. The favourite tends to win most of them while the underdog sits deep, so team corners can beat the match total.
- 02
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
- 03
Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Newcastle vs Forest and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
- 04
With the draw only 24%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Newcastle on the Newcastle -0.5 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
