LiontipsSouthampton vs Nottingham Forest. Prediction and betting tips for the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Southampton's return to the Premier League was unsuccessful. Of course, the team was not initially the bookmakers' favorite in the away match with Newcastle. However, in the 28th minute, the opponent gave the Saints a great "gift" in the form of Sher's sending off. The visitors did not take advantage of their chance, conceded a goal at the end of the first half and did not score a single point in the end. Russell Martin's charges had their moments, they attacked almost the entire game, but nothing came of it.
Southampton continue to add to their ranks. In the past week, Cameron Archer, Mateus Fernandes and Leslie Ugochukwu have arrived on loan from Chelsea.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bazunu and Sulemana will be out today due to injuries, while Stewart and Lallana's appearance on the field remains in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Southampton have failed to score in the opening 45 minutes in four of their last five matches.
- Only one of the Saints' previous five matches featured an exchange of goals.
Prospective line-up : McCarthy - Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stevens - Sugawara, Smallbone, Downs, Aribo, Walker-Peters - Armstrong, Brereton.
Current form
Nottingham Forest were close to winning the first round against Bournemouth. Wood scored in the middle of the first half, they managed to maintain the lead until the 86th minute, but still conceded (1:1). It is certainly worth noting the New Zealand striker Chris Wood . It seems that the forward does not plan to reduce his defense, let us recall that last season he scored 14 goals.
In transfer news, we note that negotiations regarding the transfer of Paraguayan striker Ramon Sosa to the Foresters have been successfully completed. Alex Moreno has also been loaned from Aston Villa.
Disqualifications and injuries
Danilo will not play today due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have lost 12 of their last 14 matches on corners.
- The Foresters have conceded in 11 consecutive away matches in the Premier League.

5.80Tip and bets
Southampton were not impressive at all in the opening game against Newcastle, where, even with a numerical advantage, they were unable to open up the opponent's defense. Nottingham Forest played their match against Bournemouth much better, Chris Wood is good up front, and overall, the attack looks solid for the Foresters. We believe that the visitors are capable of scoring at least one point today.
Our prediction is Nottingham Forest not to lose at 1.57
Bet on total
Nottingham Forest have consistently conceded at least one goal in their 14 Premier League away games, and it is unlikely that they will be able to play to zero today. At the same time, judging by the opening match, the Foresters are capable of creating moments in attack, and Wood himself can pull the team through. There is a high probability that there will be an exchange of goals scored today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.70
Bet on corners
Let's note the trend for corners that is promising for betting. Nottingham Forest have lost in the number of corners in 12 of the last 14. It is unlikely that they will be able to win in this component on the road.
Prediction: Southampton win on corners with odds of 1.60
