Tip and bets
Everton and Nottingham Forest haven't crossed paths in 23 years. Last time that happened, the Tricky Trees won, and we think, they have a decent chance today, too. The hosts have too many injuries and they havent' picked up form yet. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, won the last game, and might be able to build on that success. We suggest betting on double chance for the visitors.
Our prediction — Nottingham Forest to not lose
It is likely that both sides will choose defensive tactics. Both opponents struggled to create scoring chances in the first two rounds, but can potentially deliver reliable performances on defense.
Second wager — total under 2.5 goals
