Fixture: Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest

Tournament and Date: May 17, 12:30 (London Time)

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals (Odds: 1.58)

After Manchester United's failure to break the deadlock in their previous encounter with Sunderland, star playmaker Bruno Fernandes is still focused on his pursuit of the Premier League assist record. The creative engine of the Red Devils will be looking to exploit the gaps in the visitors' defense to provide the necessary service for his teammates. Given the attacking intent of the home side and their motivation to bounce back, this fixture is expected to be a high-scoring affair, making the Over 2.5 goals market a strong option.
