We make recommendations for a betting bet for this match on August 31, 2022.
Manchester City started the season not particularly strong
Manchester City were able to retain the title in the English Premier League last season. But at the same time, they lost all other tournaments, from the Super Bowl with Leicester to the incredible failure in the end of the Champions League semi-final in Madrid with Real Madrid. The new cycle started unsuccessfully: 1-3 with Liverpool, albeit in the Super Bowl, which is not particularly quoted among the giants of Foggy Albion. Then, however, the wards of Pep Guardiola confidently beat the strong middle peasants of the Premier League, West Ham (2-0) and the newcomer, Bournemouth (4-0). But with a more organized Newcastle, points were lost, moreover, the final 3-3 was in favor of the favorite, who lost by 2 goals. Moreover, on Saturday the 1st half was won at home by Crystal Palace. But after the break, Holland was enchanting, which scored a hat-trick, and his team won 4-2.

Nottingham Forest is trying to complete the season almost anew
Nottingham Forest surprised everyone last season. Then the wards of Steve Cooper managed to finish in the top 6, after which they managed to win the playoffs. But these successes were actually achieved by the previous version of the team. Over the summer, one and a half hundred millions were spent here, but 2 dozen newcomers were signed. Of course, there were doubts about how the team assembled already during the start of the championship would play – everyone remembers the example of Fulham, the sample of the first attempt to return to the Premier League. However, this newcomer to the division turned out to be more prepared and organized, and scored points not only with the unstable Everton, but also, for example, with West Ham, with whom they took the 1st victory after returning to the Premier League.
Forecast. It is clear that Manchester City must win, the only question is how confidently he will win. It is worth using the handicap from “-2.5” to the Manchester City (coefficient – 1.63).
The proposed bet from the bookmaker 18bet looks just as interesting: “Manchester City to win” + “total under 2.5” + “both teams to score: no” – odds 5.17
