Nottingham Forest (+125) vs. Burnley (+220), DRAW (+255) | 2.5 (-110/-110)

As mentioned above, Nottingham Forest is looking to build off of their big road win over Chelsea earlier this month. Things haven’t gone as well for the newly-promoted Burnley, who are off to a 0-0-3 start. This PL match is set for Monday at 2:45 p.m. ET from The City Ground in Nottingham. 

Okay, I have a bit of a juicer play here and it’s only because Burnley beat Forest 1-0 at The City Ground on August 30th. I don’t think lightning will strike twice in the same place for the Clarets. However, if things don’t go as planned, at least we have the push to fall back on if this match ends in a draw. 

With that being said, I’m anticipating a different result for the Trees this time. The main reason they were able to stay in the top flight last season was because of their home form. They went 8-6-5 on their own pitch, which was good enough for 30 of their 38 points. Also, 27 of the Trees’ 38 goals came at The City Ground. I think they’ll do plenty enough offensively to win against this Burnley side that has conceded 11 goals already (3.7 GAPG). 

Bet: Nottingham Forest, Draw No Bet (-160)
