- 两队都没有在森林中得分；最近三场主场联赛
- 两队在曼联的三场比赛中都没有得分；最近四场客场联赛
- 曼联在最近四次造访城市球场的比赛中，有三次以0比0获胜
森林可能很难在没有前线人员的情况下为偏袒辩护
诺丁汉森林队一代人以来首次以夺冠热门的身份对阵曼联队，但周二；如果客队打进第一球，他们在城市球场的比赛可能会让客队失望。
森林队在过去的八场主场联赛中保持不败，取得了六胜两平，这一序列帮助他们牢牢掌握了前三名的位置。但他们在足总杯对阵布莱顿的比赛中度过了120分钟的疲惫时光，并且对两名领先球员的伤病表示怀疑。
最佳射手克里斯·伍德错过了周六的比赛；圣埃斯皮里图在杯赛四分之一决赛中受伤，他在国际比赛中受伤，圣埃斯皮里图拒绝透露他是否准备好在对阵红魔的比赛中复出。教练的另一个担忧是摩根·吉布斯·怀特的健康状况，他在与海鸥队的比赛中受到撞击后，不得不在点球前下场。
联合起来，正在好转
来自老特拉福德的球队消息与鲁本·阿莫林（Ruben Amorim）的乐观相反；美国球员从国际比赛中毫发无损地归来，五名受伤后重返训练场的球星迎接他们。
丹麦边后卫Patrick Dorgu一直在左侧提供关键的平衡，在停赛后再次可用，而Harry Maguire，Luke Shaw和Leny Yoro看起来将支持红魔；防御部队。
曼联’；他的主要问题仍然是进攻，拉斯穆斯·霍吉林和约书亚·齐克泽都没有高产，但布鲁诺·费尔南德斯尽管最近被撤回到中场中路，但仍然继续发挥作用。费尔南德斯仍然是曼联的一员；最有可能的得分手和阿莫林；他从诺丁汉拿下全部三分的最大希望是他的球队在后防线上保持严密。
两队都能不失球
森林队已经证明，一旦他们取得领先，他们就非常擅长结束比赛，他们在过去的11场主场比赛中有9场都做到了这一点，但在过去的三场联赛中，他们都落后了。
努诺·埃斯皮里托·桑托；中国队已经做好准备，通过他们出色的边路球员卡勒姆·哈德森-奥多伊和安东尼·埃兰加进行反击，但当球队能够坐得住并迫使他们发挥作用时，他们的进攻可能会被取消。曼联’；由于诺丁汉市中心可能会出现拥堵，后卫将是执行比赛计划的关键。
一场进球或进球机会很少的比赛可能是两名葡萄牙教练之间战术斗争的副产品，其中一支或两支球队能够将另一支球队压制90分钟。在过去的10场主场比赛中，森林队在所有比赛中只丢了5次球，而红魔队在过去的四场客场联赛中只丢过两次球。
预言：
两队都得分-否
曼联1-0
布鲁诺·费尔南德斯随时得分

- Both teams have not scored in Forest’s last three home league games
- Both teams have not scored in three of Man Utd’s last four away league contests
- Manchester United have won to nil on three of their last four visits to the City Ground
Forest may struggle to justify favouritism without frontmen
Nottingham Forest go into a match against Manchester United as the favourites for the first time in a generation, but Tuesday’s clash at the City Ground could fall the way of the visitors if they get the first goal.
Forest are unbeaten in their last eight home league contests with six wins and two draws, a sequence that has helped them keep a firm grip on a top-three position. But they go into this game off the back of a draining 120 minutes against Brighton in the FA Cup and with injury doubts surrounding their two leading players.
Top scorer Chris Wood missed Saturday’s cup quarter-final with an injury he picked up while on international duty and Nuno Espirito Santo refused to say if he would be ready to return against the Red Devils. An additional concern for the coach will be the fitness of Morgan Gibbs-White, who had to come off before penalties after sustaining a knock against the Seagulls.
United on the mend
The team news from Old Trafford is contrastingly optimistic with all of Ruben Amorim’s players returning unscathed from international duty to be greeted by five returning stars back in training after injury.
Patrick Dorgu, the Danish wing-back who has been providing crucial balance on the left-hand side, is available again after suspension while Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro look set to bolster the Red Devils’ defensive corps.
United’s main problem remains in attack where neither Rasmus Hojlind or Joshua Zirkzee have been prolific, but Bruno Fernandes continues to provide a spark despite being withdrawn to a central midfield role of late. Fernandes remains United’s most likely scorer and Amorim’s best hope of taking all three points back from Nottingham will be for his side to keep it tight at the back.
Both teams capable of clean sheets
Forest have proven very adept at closing out games once they get their noses in front, which they have done in nine of their last 11 home games, but they have lost each of their last three league games when going behind.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are set up to counter attack through their excellent wide men Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga, but they can be nullified when teams are able to sit deep and force them to make the play. United’s wing-backs will be the key to executing the gameplan in Nottingham with the central areas likely to be congested.
A game of few goals or goalscoring opportunities may be the byproduct of a tactical battle between the two Portuguese coaches with one or both teams capable of keeping the other at bay for 90 minutes. Forest have conceded only five times in their last 10 home games in all competitions while the Red Devils have managed two shutouts in their last four away league trips.
Predictions:Both Teams To Score - No
Manchester United 1-0
Bruno Fernandes To Score Anytime
