Nottingham Forest - Southampton betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 20:00 on 08/05/2023 played @ The City Ground

Nottingham Forest might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Southampton are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The away team’s chances of winning this Monday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Forest, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Although team from Nottingham lost their previous away game at Brentford , things didn’t go as badly as they could have. They were severely outmatched and playing as visitors, yet somehow managed to secure a lead before half-time. The 2:1 result was a narrow loss for them, though they walked away with their pride intact.

Southampton’s loss in their previous away game was sadly predictable. Although they managed to take a surprising lead against in the first half, it didn’t last long. Newcastle United ultimately crushed them 3:1.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Nottingham Forest have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Southampton’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The home team are heading for relegation fast, and it doesn’t seem like there’s much they can do to stop it. They’re heading into a difficult match, one of the last games of the season, and they need to get a total of 1 point.

The Saints are looking relegation as we enter round 35, and avoiding it seems almost impossible at this late stage of the competition. They’re in a 4 -point deficit and going against the odds in The City Ground.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with team from Nottingham taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone, Omar Richards, Neco Williams, Chris Wood will have to sit this one out, while Southampton will have to make do without Valentino Livramento, Mohammed Salisu, Juan Larios López.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.04, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
