Match preview

Manchester United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on 17 May 2026. Manchester United sit 3rd on 71 points and Nottingham Forest are 16th on 44. Manchester United have won 3 of their last 5 (LWWWD), while Nottingham Forest have won 3 of 5 (DWWWD). In their last 1 meetings, Manchester United won 0, Nottingham Forest won 0 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
