Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 04/27/25

Nottingham Forest and Manchester City are 2 of the teams engaged in the fierce battle for the top 5 in the Premier League but both will take a break from league duties this weekend when they clash in the semifinals of the FA Cup. Wembley Stadium plays host to this weekend’s semifinals with Forest having booked their spot in the last 4 with a penalty-shootout victory against Brighton in the quarterfinals. As for Manchester City, they were 2-1 winners away to Bournemouth and Pep Guardiola’s Citizens are no strangers to this competition.

Man City won the FA Cup in the 2022-23 season against Manchester United before losing to their City rivals in last year’s final. And they will be hoping their know-how in big knockout games will see them over the line against the Tricky Trees. On Tuesday, meanwhile, Manchester City recorded a last-gasp 2-1 win over fellow top-5 chasers Aston Villa thanks to a 94th-minute strike from Matheus Nunes. That made it 4 wins in 5 games in all competitions for City, who are finally starting to show some consistency under Guardiola this season. The biggest teams typically hit their stride at this stage of the campaign and City could yet finish the season with a top-4 finish and an FA Cup under their belts. They will be determined to do exactly that and they look good odds to beat Forest at a neutral venue.

Forest have fallen away a bit recently, losing back-to-back matches at the start of April against Aston Villa and Everton, denting their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. They picked up 3 points away to Tottenham on Monday night but punters should not read too much into that given that Spurs long ago checked out of the Premier League and the stats suggest Forest were fortunate to get the win in that game. They make not be so lucky here against Manchester City.
