The early EPL kickoff this Saturday involves Manchester United hosting Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. The hosts have already guaranteed their UCL spot for next season, whilst Forest are no longer in the grasp of the relegation zone.
Being in front of a home crowd for the final time this season, Manchester United’s attack will be looking to thrive, and no one looks more hungry for goals than Matheus Cunha, who against a weak Forest side is leniently priced to score.
The Red Devils should fancy themselves to get past a team that doesn't show much confidence at the back, conceding four goals against Aston Villa (in the UEL) in their last away game, as well as two goals at both Man City and Brighton, three at the Emirates, and two against United in the reverse meeting.
Not only have United found the net, but they’ve scored multiple goals in seven out of their last eight home matches, and Cunha has been responsible for three goals in the last six that he’s made an appearance.

Our Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Averaging the second highest number of shots per game for Carrick, Cunha has created multiple attempts in each of his last eight games in the league, home and away, netting in two out of his last three.
Let’s not forget, the Brazilian is one of several players in this game who will be looking to play themselves into form ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and there’s no better way to do that than on home soil facing a team that have time and again let slip at the back, particularly when traveling to teams that possess some of the better offensive quality.
Our Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Pick: Matheus Cunha to Score.
