Southampton - Nottingham Forest betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 20:30 on 04/01/2023 played @ St. Mary's Stadium refereed by Thomas Bramall

Though we can call Southampton the favourites in this matchup, Nottingham Forest are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

Tricky Trees will have little to hope for in this match. 4.00 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Fulham from the previous Premier League fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

Tricky Trees are here after a tense draw on home ground. They faced off against Chelsea in the previous round and were almost sure to lose with bookies seeing them as the 1.65 underdogs. Things seemed quite grim as they fell behind in the first half, but they eventually managed to pull off a 1:1 draw.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Southampton 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.

A string of mishaps landed The Saints right in the relegation zone. It’s not a disaster yet with much of the season left to be played, but walking away with additional points from this matchup will be quite a challenge.

As the season rapidly approaches its second half, there’s plenty of cause for concern if you’re an team from Nottingham supporter. Placed at 18th, they’re at risk of relegation, and a matchup like this one is not an easy way to get some points.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Alex McCarthy, Theo Walcott, Juan Larios López. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhaté, Cheikhou Kouyaté. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.06 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
