Nottingham Forest - Reading betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.75 bring great value considering the fact that Nottingham Forest are indeed firm favourites to defeat Reading.

The Royals stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Tricky Trees are coming on the back of an away draw (1:1) in the previous round against Sheffield United . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Forest considering the 2.00 odds on them.

The Royals fans are hoping for a better performance than what they displayed at their home stadium in the previous round. Playing against Millwall, they spent most of the match behind and ultimately lost it 0:1.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for Tricky Trees. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

The Royals’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between team from Nottingham and Reading ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

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 1.75.
