Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Nottm Forest and Newcastle fans may have some reason for celebration ahead as their teams go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two teams are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding anything to pick between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is our top tip.
