In this battle between relegation squads, we're banking on a back-and-forth affair and a handful of goals — read more in sportingview_27's EPL betting picks for Nottingham Forest vs. Southampton below.
Relegation showdowns tend to serve up a potent mix of nerves, mistakes, and goalmouth action. The stakes are already high heading into Monday — and I feel like both teams will have circled this fixture as a game where only a victory will do. To me, that points to a surprisingly open contest.
Forest’s last three games have all cashed in the Over on 2.5 goals, and they’ve got attacking depth to count on, even if Brennan Johnson misses out after limping off against Brentford. Taiwo Awoniyi netted the winner against Southampton back in January, and Cooper can turn to Andre Ayew, Jesse Lingard, and Emmanuel Dennis to support him.
The Tricky Trees have picked up 24 of their 30 points at home this season and look like a different team in the final third at the City Ground, as they showed in a 3-1 win against high-flying Brighton 10 days ago. Southampton have found goals harder to come by, but they played their part in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Arsenal last month and James Ward-Prowse makes the visitors a threat from free-kicks and corners. With Forest hampered by a lengthy injury list, including the in-form Danilo, Saints should create chances against the hosts’ reshuffled lineup. Again, they can’t afford to play for a point.
It may not be pretty in wet conditions on Monday, but I’m taking the Over here with the potential for a tense back-and-forth thriller.
