Southampton vs Nottingham Forest: Top Free Betting Tips

Southampton have a great chance to win three easy points against the weakest opponent in the division. Here are our predictions.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

It seems that Nottingham have improved at least a little bit in the month without football and they reached a surprising draw against Chelsea over the weekend. This time, they will face Southampton, who have been terrible lately and already lost twice since the restart of the league. Moreover, even though Nottingham are the weakest away team in the league, Southampton always concede goals in their games.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

We do not think that Southampton will win this game even against Nottingham. The hosts are in terrible shape right now and they suffered defeats to Fulham and Brighton in recent weeks. At the same time, they are the weakest home team in the entire league this season. On the other side, Nottingham are the weakest visitor in the Premier League, so we will have a curious match here.

Correct Score Prediction: 2:2 Draw

This game may actually end with a ton of goals and a surprisingly high scoreline. Of course, the 1:1 is a far easier option and perhaps the more logical one given that Nottingham have scored in a single away game this season. But at the same time, almost all of the games of both teams recenrly ended with 3-4 goals or more.

Southampton vs Nottingham Forest: Form, Recent Games, and News

Southampton Preview

Southampton have had some serious struggles this season both in attack and defense. The team is in danger of getting relegated unless they find an improvement. Surprisingly, they did not even play a single friendly match during the World Cup and it seems that this had its effect on the team as they already lost twice since the restart and are at the bottom of the Premier League.

Nottingham Preview

It seems that Nottingham Forest are on their way to the Championship once again. The team overdid it on the transfer market and attackted something like 25 new players, some very solid ones. But this is not enough to make a good team. The chemistry is not there and the attack is almost inexistent.
