Nottingham are currently 16^th on the log, but are in something of a free-fall having only taken 1 point from their last 15 played for.  That came last time out away to Wolves where the game finished 1-1.

VERDICT

I was eyeing a both teams to score, yes, bet as this would have arrived in Tottenham’s last 7 matches, however the 4/6 on offer is not enough to tempt me.

Over 2.5 goals is also trading short at 5/8 and I am going to stick my neck out and suggest we get 4 goals or more in this one.  There have been at least 4 goals in 3 out of Forest’s last 5 matches and in 3 of Tottenham’s last 6 games.

Suggested Bet:  Over 3.5 goals at 31/20

I am also going to go for a correct score play here, Nottingham 1 Tottenham 3 currently priced at 11/1.

Suggested Bet:  Correct Score 1-3 at 11/1
