We’re heading to the City Ground for Forest against Southampton for this week’s bet builder!
Bet Builder Best Bet: Nottingham Forest v Southampton
Here we have two teams in very contrasting form – Forest have won 7 of their last 8 games, with the midweek draw against league leaders Liverpool being the only game where they haven’t picked up 3 points. Southampton have continued to struggle since Russell Martin’s sacking, with 4 league defeats on the bounce and an unenviable overall away record of 0W, 2D, 9L.
Bet Builder Best Bet: Flying Forest
Unsurprisingly then, we’re backing Forest to win here at odds of 1.40 as part of the bet builder. Forest also have an excellent record of scoring the first goal in their games (18/21 in league matches so far) and pushing on from there. No team has kept more clean sheets this season than Forest, so it wouldn’t at all be a surprise for a fairly toothless Southampton to be shut out at the City Ground this weekend.
Bet Builder Best Bet: Wonderful Wood
To further bolster the Forest selection we can look at the midweek round of fixtures. Having gained a morale boosting draw against Liverpool, Forest have also had two extra days rest than Southampton, who themselves collapsed to a bruising late 3-1 defeat against Manchester United on Thursday night. To bump the odds up a bit, let’s add in the ever-reliable Chris Wood as an anytime goalscorer. Wood has scored in his last 3 games in a row, taking his tally to an impressive 13 for the season.
