Brentford - Nottingham Forest predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Nottingham Forest are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Brentford should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against team from Nottingham here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Bees are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.30.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Crystal Palace away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for The Bees.

The away team recorded a narrow 2:1 victory at home in the previous round, which was better than even the most optimistic of expectations. After all, top online bookmakers priced their them winning at 2.28, so few believed they had a decent shot at winning even as the first half ended in a draw.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Brentford’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

With 6 goals in Tricky Trees’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

With a 16th spot in the standings, The Bees’s performances so far have been far from great. They are three places away from the relegation zone and the forthcoming clash against team from Nottingham is a perfect chance to turn the tables around.

The 21 games team from Nottingham played in their current Premier League campaign left a lot to be desired, but at least they’ve managed to keep themselves out of the relegation zone for now. That said, most betting predictions see a loss at The Bees as the most likely outcome.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Brentford being seen as the favourites.

Thankfully, Tricky Trees will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.92 odds offered at Betfair.
