APWin Prediction

BTTS - No

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Fenerbahçe to win the 1st half

Fenerbahçe will head in to face Nottingham Forest with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Fenerbahçe to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Nottingham Forest, at least until half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Nottingham Forest win or draw

The Double Chance market is an excellent option for those who want a little more security and a little less risk in their bets. Of the three potential outcomes in a football match (win, draw, loss), two of them ensure a winning bet.

And with the 1X bet, the home team has a higher probability of hitting on the bet thanks to the added advantage of playing in their own stadium.

So based on recent form and other factors, we feel confident enough in Nottingham Forest's ability to avoid defeat to make Nottingham Forest win or draw our top betting tip for this match.
