Manchester United only need a point to wrap up third place in the Premier League table, but should really be looking to beat a Nottingham Forest side with little to play for.
The Red Devils have rattled off 12 home wins this term, although they have only kept four clean sheets from 18 attempts at Old Trafford , while Forest have scored in nine straight away games in this competition.
Those stats point us towards taking a BOYLE Sports price boost of 9/4 for the Red Devils to prevail and both teams to score for our first Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest prediction.

Head-To-Head
Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest Head-To-Head
Forest have actually fared quite well in this match-up of late, including last season's 3-2 success at this venue, their first win at Old Trafford in almost 30 years. The Reds followed that up with a second straight home win over United four months later, and this term's encounter at the City Ground produced an entertaining 2-2 draw.
Morgan Gibbs-White has scored for Forest in three of the last four league meetings and is 11/4 to strike at any time again here, although he has been sidelined with a facial injury.
Form Guides
Man Utd Form Guide
Michael Carrick admitted United put in a lacklustre performance when drawing 0-0 at Sunderland after he made five changes for that match. "It was a tough game," said Carrick. "We had to dig deep at times; it wasn't our best, but to take something from the game when you're not at your best is a good trait that we're trying to build."
That display had all the hallmarks of a team easing off after achieving the main aim of securing Champions League football, but Carrick will be keen to end their home campaign on a high. Back-to-back victories over Brentford and Liverpool had previously made it seven wins out of eight at Old Trafford since the former midfielder took charge on an interim basis.
The Red Devils started brightly in those last two triumphs, and another price boost of 3/1 for them to score more than 1.5 first-half goals for a third straight home game offers appeal.
Nottingham Forest Form Guide
Forest are another side to have benefited from a change of leader, and an eight-match unbeaten run in the league under Vitor Pereira has helped them pull clear of any relegation worries. That hot streak has included emphatic away wins at Tottenham , Sunderland and Chelsea , with 11 goals scored in those games, as well as an excellent 2-2 draw at Manchester City .
There was a fear that this month's 4-0 thrashing at Aston Villa that ended their dreams of Europa League glory, could knock the stuffing out of Forest . However, Pereira's battle-weary outfit put in a brave display when drawing 1-1 at home to Newcastle three days later, thanks to Elliot Anderson 's 88th-minute equaliser.
The outstanding Anderson has been strongly linked with a transfer move this summer, with both Manchester clubs among his many suitors, so 7/1 for the England star to add to recent away strikes against City and Sunderland is a tempting price for our Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest tips.
