Nottingham Forest Betting Preview

Nottingham Forest opened up their EPL season against Arsenal and they were really tested. The final score ended up being a 2-1 defeat, but it actually wasn’t all that close. They gave up two goals in the first 32 minutes and they had issues bouncing back. Taiwo Awoniyi did score in the 82nd minute for Nottingham Forest, but it wasn’t enough. They had only 21 percent of the possession and two shots on goal. Omar Richards,  Felipe, and backup goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey are all expected to miss this game with injury. Taiwo Awoniyi came off the bench in the last game against Arsenal but it’s expected that he’s going to slide into the starting lineup in this game. 

Sheffield United Betting Preview

Sheffield United opened up their season against Crystal Palace, and they also ended up that game in defeat. Sheffield United had problems keeping possession and they ended up giving up a goal in the 49th minute on the way to the defeat. They only had 32 percent of the possesion and one shot on target. One big issue for Sheffield United right now is they are dealing with all kinds of injuries. John Fleck, Rhian Brewster, Ismaila Coulibaly, Jayden Bogle, Daniel Jebbison, Oliver McBurnie, and Rhys Norrington-Davies are all going to be ruled out of this game because of injury. 

Shane’s Free Pick

At home, Nottingham Forest is a different animal, and they are going to have no issue in this game. Sheffield United only managed one shot on goal in the last game, and on the road, they are going to struggle to get many quality scoring chances again here. Nottingham Forest will push numbers forward, and they are going to find a way to score a couple of goals here. Nottingham Forest won’t have the offense to keep in this game. Back Nottingham Forest on the money line to cash.
