Match preview

The Premier League Cup kicks off for Newcastle United U21s on September 4, 2026, as they host a formidable Nottingham Forest U21 side. This opening fixture pits a Newcastle team, whose early season form remains an unknown, against a Forest outfit that has started the campaign in impressive fashion. Forest boast a strong record of five wins, one draw, and one loss from seven outings, scoring 11 goals, and arrive having won three of their last five matches.

Recent head-to-head encounters suggest a competitive rivalry, with Forest securing three wins to Newcastle's two, alongside a single draw in their last five meetings. Most recently, Forest triumphed 3-0 in their last encounter, though Newcastle previously notched a 3-2 victory. The betting markets heavily favour an away win or a draw, reflecting Forest's superior early season form and a 71% win rate. Newcastle will be keen to make a statement in their cup opener, but they face a stern test against a confident Forest side, who will look to maintain their strong start to the season.
