Brentford v Nottm Forest

The odd game tonight in England and one bet that looks tempting in League One is Nottingham Forest to be leading at HT away to Brentford. Brentford are one of a very competitive top 5 in the division who will be aiming to be in one of the automatic promotion spots come the end of the season. Forest are 10th and will consider at least a play-off place to be well within their reach. Brentford’s home form has been distinctly average lately however with only 2 wins from last 7. They can be vulnerable in the first 45 – they have been trailing 6 times at home at the break this season, 4 times in the last 6. Forest however don’t appear to have the form to be able to take advantage, with only 1 away win all season. More relevant to this bet is that they have been leading at the break only once in their last 8 away and in fact have managed only 1 first half goal in those games. The best odds available on Forest to be leading at the break at the time of writing are 10/3 with Spodds but I cannot take this bet without a little more generosity from the bookies.

So interesting odds, but NO BET.

A full Serie A program tomorrow night, any recommendations will posted tomorrow.
