Turning their attention back to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon, Newcastle will welcome a struggling Nottingham Forest to St. James’ Park.
Getting their first European points on the board earlier in the week as they stormed their way to a stunning 4-0 Champions League romp away at Club Brugge, the Magpies will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
Dealing with what has been a public rollercoaster behind the scenes over the past month, Nottingham Forest find themselves at the heart of a public crisis and the pressure on Ange Postecoglou’s shoulders is already at a serious boiling point.
On an afternoon when the Magpies will be looking to skyrocket their way into the top-half of the Premier League table, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder Tips.
Newcastle looking to build on their European success
Suffering major last-gasp heartbreak at home against Arsenal last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss, many were wondering if Eddie Howe’s men would show any signs of a hangover when they traveled over to Belgium on Wednesday night.
However, despite facing what could have been a potential Champions League banana skin on foreign soil, Newcastle put in what was a season-best performance.
Storming their way to a sensational 4-0 romp and putting their first Champions League points on the board, Sunday’s hosts should be smelling a golden opportunity when they return to St. James’ Park this weekend.
Desperate to skyrocket their way into the top-half of the Premier League standings, the former Bournemouth boss should be smelling a golden opportunity to clinch a much-welcomed domestic boost here.
It should also be highlighted, landing a dramatic 4-3 victory when they last welcomed Nottingham Forest to St. James’ Park back in February, they have won all of their previous four meetings against Sunday’s guests across all competitions.

Woltemade’s dream start
Eventually watching now-former attacking talisman Alexander Isak complete an extremely messy Deadline Day divorce, Newcastle’s big-money summer recruit arrived at St. James’ Park with plenty of expectations on his shoulders.
However, while Isak might have struggled to immediately find his feet after arriving at Anfield, Nick Woltemade is clearly enjoying life under Howe’s guidance and has come flying out of the traps.
Spending a reported £69million on the German U21 ace, Woltemade has already cemented his spot as an immediate hit at St. James’ and opened his Champions League account away against Club Brugge in midweek.
Likewise, bagging what turned out to be a consolation Premier League strike against Arsenal last weekend, the 23-year-old has already recorded three goals across all competitions since completing his record-breaking move.
Claiming the EURO U21 Golden Boot over the summer and with his stock at a red-hot high, Newcastle’s new striking superstar should be confident of testing an incredibly leaky Forest defence here

Postecoglou’s final game in charge?
While Postecoglou might have only officially arrived at the City Ground as Nuno Espirito Santo’s replacement less than a month ago, the Australian tactician finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point.
Coming under even more scrutiny earlier in the week as they fell to an infamous 3-2 defeat at home against Danish outfit Midtjylland, it has been suggested that Sunday’s trip to St. James’ Park could be Postecoglou’s final game in charge.
Enduring a public crisis during his first month in the City Ground dugout, Nottingham Forest have only continued to show a string of glaring issues since opening up the new campaign.
Last seen in Premier League action getting hit with a 1-0 loss at home against top-flight newcomers Sunderland, Sunday’s guests have failed to win any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions.
Hit with consecutive 3-0 defeats against West Ham and Arsenal on either side of September’s international break, Postecoglou’s struggling squad face another stern examination here.
