Brentford v Nottingham Forest
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Brentford v Nottingham Forest is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Nottingham Forest are better than their league position suggests and should dominate the play here. They sit 18th, yet they have created superior chances in all of their last four games away from home. While they have only scored 6 times in their last nine, the quality of their work says they should have 13. However, they shoot from poor areas too often, and losing Dan Ndoye takes away a man with two goals this season who provided a real threat. Brentford miss the creative drive of Yehor Yarmoliuk in the middle, making them less likely to punish a Forest backline missing its usual defenders. Forest will control the ball, but their wayward finishing from distance determines the result.
