Brentford - Nottingham Forest betting tips and odds

Brentford are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Nottingham Forest winning, though.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Tricky Trees, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.50.

Most of us can agree that The Bees didn’t give their best in the previous round against Derby County . The first half went quite well for them, but a lack of decisiveness saw them fumble the lead. They had to settle for a 2:2 draw in that particular away game.

Forest are coming off from a crushing 0:2 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Norwich City, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Championship title.

One way or another, Forest’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Championship season, the hosts already recorded a victory over team from Nottingham. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.70.
