🏆 Match stats: Both sides see plenty of goals per game
Fulham have scored an average 1.53 goals per game, conceding an average of 1.57 goals. In fact, The Cottagers have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last ten games. Finally, all of Fulham’s last eight matches have seen the over 2.5 goals market land (16 of their last 20).
Forest have seen an average of 2.93 match goals per game; scoring 1.20 and conceding 1.73. Forest have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last ten matches. Further, across their last five away fixtures, Forest have conceded an average of 3.20 goals per game.
The over 2.5 goals market has landed in three of the last five times these two teams have met, two of these five seeing over 4.5 goals scored. Backing history to repeat itself in this one has strong value. If you’re confident of a higher-scoring affair, backing over 3.5, or even over 4.5, goals see even more jumps in value.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.80
⚽ Over 3.5 goals @ 3.0
🎯 Shooting stats: Two players on both sides scoring plenty of goals
Rodrigo Muniz has now seen five goal contributions over his last five matches (four goals, one assist). He is currently leading the line for Fulham in terms of goals scored (eight). Alongside his scoring, Muniz has been averaging plenty of shots; 1.49 shots on target and 4.39 shots respectively.
In fact, Muniz has taken at least two shots in all of his last five Premier League appearances, and at least one shot on target in these too.
Chris Wood is currently Forest’s top scorer this season, having found the back of the net ten times in the Premier League for The Reds. He is currently on top form too, scoring in both of his last two outings. Wood has been averaging 1.28 shots and 2.15 shots on target per game, managing at least one shot at goal in all of his last five appearances.
Backing either forward to score, or manage some shots on target, looks to be great value for this match, especially given the high goals expected in this one.
Predictions:
⚽ Chris Wood to score anytime @ 3.30
⚽ Rodrigo Muniz to score anytime @ 3.0
⚽ Chris Wood to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.50
⚽ Rodrigo Muniz to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.62
🚩 Corners stats: Fulham to dominate the corner markets
Fulham have seen an average of 5.67 corners per match this season, conceding 4.70. Forest on the other hand average one of the lowest amount of corners in the Premier League (3.80). This ranks them 19th in the league for corners, just one place above Sheffield United. They have also conceded the third-highest number of corners (6.60).
Fulham have managed more corners than Forest in each of their last three games, further managing at least five corners in each. This opens up value in the corner match betting market, requiring Fulham to take more corners than Forest to land.
Predictions:
⚽ Fulham corner match bet @ 2.0
⚽ Over 4.5 Fulham corners @ 1.65
🛑 Fouls stats: Two holding midfielders with high fouling records
Joao Palhinha of Fulham is often compared to a walking yellow card, and rightly so. Palhinha has picked up the most bookings of any Premier League player this season (12). He has also been averaging 1.70 fouls committed per game.
In his last game against Forest, Palhinha was arguably well-behaved, committing just one foul. As a team, Fulham only committed seven fouls in the game, a low number most likely due to their huge lead. Playing away from home on Tuesday, Palhinha will likely not be as tame; the last time he visited Forest he picked up a booking.
Ryan Yates is also one with the dark arts. The Forest midfielder has not picked up as many bookings as Palhinha (only on four) but is averaging 2.60 fouls per game. This ranks him first out of any Forest player for fouls committed per 90 minutes.
Last time out against Fulham, Yates was booked despite playing just 45 minutes. The time before this he committed two fouls. Backing either Palhinha or Yates promises to add value to your Nottingham Forest v Fulham bet builders.
Predictions:
⚽ Joao Palhinha to commit 2+ fouls @ 1.50
⚽ Ryan Yates to commit 2+ fouls @ 1.53
⚽ Joao Palhinha to be shown a card @ 2.63
⚽ Ryan Yates to be shown a card @ 4.0
