Football- England 'Premier League'] 6.8/ 16:00 Newcastle United- Nottingham Forest
I've picked this game for a few reasons. Newcastle is extremely difficult to play against at St James Park. If "home field advantage" is a thing, Newcastle has it. They've had a pretty good preseason as well. They've won all preseason games at home, and lost their away ones. Having said that, Newcastle split pretty much every game 50/50 between starters and second team this preseason, so some of those losses are not truly representative of their work. Newcastle truly added great talent in the past year and I can see them easily in the top 10.
Nottingham was great in the championship, but I am unsure if it's enough to compete in the Premier League. They did get Lingard, but their other new players don't truly impress me. They had an okay preseason, but haven't played any games at the level of the premier league. Nottingham also moved up by promotion qualifications, not by finishing top of the championship.
I'm expecting Newcastle to dominate physically with a few technical sparks from Guimaraes, Willock & Saint-Maximin. I believe they will win by a goal or two.
