Strong Case for Backing Under 2.5 Goals

We don’t think the net will bulge too many times when Nottingham Forest go up against Brentford. For this reason, we’re backing Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market and this selection is priced at 2.00.

Forest Won 2-0 When Teams Last Met

Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest won their last game. It was on their travels where Tottenham were beaten 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Nuno Espirito Santo's team enjoyed just 30% possession and had three shots on target, while Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood scored one goal apiece.

Brentford won their previous game, beating Brighton at home. It was a 4-2 win at Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees had 46% possession and managed eight shots on goal, while Bryan Mbeumo scored two, with Yoane Wissa and Christian Noergaard also finding the net.

Forest beat Brentford in their last head-to-head clash. It was a 2-0 scoreline away at Gtech Community Stadium. It’s been four Forest wins, three draws and three Brentford victories in the past 10 H2H matches.
