Nottingham Forest Betting Preview

Nottingham Forest in the first game faced off against AFC Bournemouth and they played to a 1-1 draw. Nottingham Forest faced scored in the 23rd minute with Chris Wood. In the 86th minute, the defense broke down. They gave up the goal, and they only ended up picking up one point. Nottingham Forest had 53 percent of the possession and eight shots on target. Ryan Yates was the one in the starting line up in the last game but Nicolas Dominguez and Elliot Anderson could be in the starting lineup here. 

Southampton Betting Preview

Southampton in the first game of the season faced off against the Newcastle and they were defeated 1-0. The defense gave up a goal in the 45th minute. Southampton had 78 percent of the possession and four shots on target but it wasn’t enough. They even were playing a man up for most of the game. Southampton doesn’t have anyone ruled out yet for this game but there could be a couple ruled out closer to gametime. Kamaldeen Sulemana, Ross Stewart, and Adam Lallana are darling with injuries, but they could all end up playing here, depending on how training goes. Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu is going to be out a while as he deals with an Achilles injury. 

Southampton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

I don’t trust the Southampton offense and their offense is going to really struggle here. Southampton might not even have a shot on goal in this game. Nottingham Forest is going to score a goal and that is going to be enough. It might only be 1-0, but Nottingham Forest is going to end up getting the job done here. Back Nottingham Forest on the money line to cash here.
