Sunday’s only Premier League game sees midtable Notts Forest and Brentford face off in a tight looking game at the City Ground. It looks like a tough game to call, but our sports betting experts are here to help you pick up a great betting bonus on the fixture. They have studied the formbook and assessed the key stats in order to bring you this exclusive prediction.
12th place and seven points represent a solid start to the season for Steve Cooper and his men. Their away defeats to both Manchester clubs and Arsenal were not exactly unexpected, but Cooper will have been pleased with the home victory over relegation rivals Sheffield United and the shock away win at Chelsea.
With a run of (theoretically) easier fixtures coming up, Forest will be looking to put a nice cushion between themselves and the sides struggling at the foot of the table.
Two weeks ago it was all looking rosy for Brentford. But two successive league defeats and a League Cup elimination have left Thomas Frank’s team needing a morale boosting victory.
The most worrying aspect for Frank will be the lack of goals in those defeats. Prior to that, they had been coping admirably with the absence of Ivan Toney, but suddenly this looks like a team light on attacking options.
Brentford are undefeated in their last four games versus Forest, and lead the overall head to head 14-13. Forest had won the previous three encounters, with their last win over the Bees coming in January 2020.
The current football betting odds for the game have Brentford as slight favourites at 17/10. Forest can be backed at 39/20, with the draw available at a best price of 12/5.
This is probably the tightest looking fixture of the weekend. The two teams are evenly matched and could well cancel each other out.
The problem is that 12/5 is an extremely short price for a draw. So we’re going to stick our necks out and plump for an away win. Frank is an astute coach and we expect him to make the necessary tweaks to his team following their disappointing run.
