Fulham can come out on top
Nottingham Forest have had a truly woeful record on the road since returning to the Premier League. Therefore, the first of our Fulham vs Nottingham Forest predictions is for the home side to win at odds of 2.06 with Bet9ja.
Steve Cooper’s side have won just two of their last 26 away matches in the league. Over that period, they have scored 0.65 goals per game and conceded 2.19. Their sole away win this season was a 1-0 win over Chelsea.
Fulham lost a lot of firepower when they allowed Aleksandar Mitrovic to depart the club in the summer. However, they have shown greater attacking impetus in recent matches. Their most recent game at Craven Cottage saw them secure a 3-2 win over Wolves.
Bet 1: Fulham to win @ 2.06 Bet9ja
Battle for supremacy will lead to goals
The second of our tips for this match is over 2.5 goals in the match at odds of 2.00 with Bet9ja. Fulham netted three times at Anfield at the weekend but were still unable to come away with any points as they succumbed to a 4-3 defeat. Their home matches have seen an average of 2.63 goals per game this season and this bet has won in two of the last three.
Forest’s away matches in the league have seen an average of 2.71 goals per game. Their most recent away game was a 3-2 defeat against West Ham and I expect this one to play out similarly.
Bet 2: Over 2.5 goals in the match @ 2.00 Bet9ja
Fulham pressure can lead to corners
The stats make for good reading in this one. Fulham have had more corners than their opponents in their last five home Premier League matches. Over that period, they have averaged 7.6 corners per game, as opposed to their opponents’ 2.6.
We can back Fulham -2 on the corner handicap at odds of 2.06 on Bet9ja. This means we need them to have at least three more corners than Nottingham Forest to win.
Forest have averaged almost four fewer corners per game than their opponents in their seven away league matches this season. They have allowed 7.43 per game in the process and have had more corners than their opponents in one of those matches.
Bet 3: Fulham -2 corner handicap @ 2.06 Bet9ja
Willian set to have an impact
The last of our Fulham vs Nottingham Forest predictions is for Willian to score at any time in the match. The Brazilian scored twice in his last match at Craven Cottage and we can back him to score just one at odds of 5.00 with Bet9ja.
Given that both goals came from the penalty spot, Willian will no doubt step up if Fulham get a penalty against Nottingham Forest.
The veteran attacker didn’t start against Liverpool but he came on with 30 minutes to go. This could mean he will be fresher than many of his teammates. Additionally, Alex Iwobi’s performance means he is unlikely to secure a spot ahead of Willian. The former Chelsea winger has been averaging 2.2 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season.
Bet 4: Willian to score @ 5.00 Bet9ja
