Nottm Forest vs Cardiff Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Nottingham Forest vs Cardiff predictions and betting tips for this weekend’s Championship fixture with a correct score tip and over 2.5 goals bet.

 

Neither side have taken off especially well so far this season, Forest are the higher placed team as they sit in 16th and recorded their first win in nine games just over a week ago. Cardiff are second bottom but only a point off the team closest to them in safety, after a shocking run at the start of the season they have started to pick up points with two wins and a draw in their last five; it looks like the manager effect is working.

 

Nottingham Forest vs Cardiff City Predictions

 

With a poor record of late Forest finally got three more points to add to their tally with a win against Birmingham just over a week ago, since then they suffered another defeat away to the hands of Blackburn. Admittedly, they are quite strong at home but face a different challenge from a Cardiff side who have been revitalised since the new boss came in, a win and a draw against 6th and 7th in the table is just how Warnock would of wanted to start his campaign; I don’t think the new manager syndrome will continue for much longer and against a team with a good home record I am going for a Nottingham Forest win for my first Nottm Forest vs Cardiff betting tip at 11/8 with William Hill.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Tips

Forests last five games have involved both teams scoring and only one out of those five hasn’t gone over 2.5 goals, a solid stat when looking at betting markets. Cardiff not quite the same, three out of five have involved both teams scoring and only two of those over 2.5 goals. This is a mix of stats really but it is tilting more towards both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. Away from home Cardiff are normally involved in high scoring games, in their last five away they have been involved in two over 2.5 goals games and even seen four and five goals go past. This really makes this BTTS and over 2.5 goals tempting at 23/20 with Coral for my second Forest vs Cardiff prediction this weekend.

Correct Score Tips

We all love a correct score bet as it keeps us on the edge of our seat, I have to keep the score in line with my above Championship predictions and based on recent results for both teams it should be tight and edged by a goal or two. With that in mind my final Nottingham Forest vs Cardiff prediction for this game is Nottingham Forest to win 2-1 at 9/1 with Bet Stars.

Head to Head Stats

Recently, the results in this fixture do not support our tips but this is a different season, the last game finished in a 1-1 draw with the previous four games going in the way of Cardiff. It was back in 2012 when Forest last beat Cardiff; but records are there to be broken. Just to add, five of the last six have gone over 2.5 goals and five of them involved both teams scoring too.

 

Nottm Forest vs Cardiff Betting Odds

The last time Forest beat Cardiff they won 3-1, this is another correct score I would consider and it’s available at the massive odds of 18/1. For those looking at safer options, consider BTTS as a market on its own, the odds are not bad at 8/11 of just over 2.5 goals with decent odds of 10/11. These are safer options and the odds are not bad either as singles.
