Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest: the head-to-head
Manchester City’s dominance over Nottingham Forest since 2022 is unmistakable: six wins to one for Forest and two draws in nine encounters. The average of 2.78 goals per game reflects a fairly open contest, yet only 33% of meetings see both sides score. Over 1.5 goals occur in 89% of games, while 44% feature three or more goals. The most recent clash, a 2-2 draw on 4 March 2026 in the Premier League, underscored the occasional parity. City have racked up 20 goals to Forest’s five, a total of 25 across all fixtures. At home, City have won three of four and drawn once, whereas away they have secured three victories, one draw and one loss. Their next meeting is scheduled for 7 November 2026 in the Premier League.
