Introduction to the Southampton vs Nottingham Forest betting tip 2024/2025

Southampton comes from a defeat recorded in the last match played. The opponent was Newcastle United, in a match valid for Premier League, and the two teams finished the match with a score of 1-0. On the field, R. Martin's team lined up with a 3-5-2.

The pre-match forecasts made it clear that the defeat was more than clear before the game started. The odds for them to win, of 8.00 were a sign of it.

The defense certainly did not shine in this match. One of those responsible for the crisis of the defensive department is Jack Stephens, cumbersome and unpunctual, constantly behind the opponents. The team's overall underwhelming performance was also due to his disappointing performance.

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a draw in the last round. In a dispute valid for Premier League, Nottingham Forest, who used a 4-2-3-1 formation, faced the AFC Bournemouth team with a final score of 1-1.

A very balanced game was expected, so a draw was somewhat anticipated, with odds around 3.40.

The last time these teams faced off against each other in Premier League, Southampton was in 20th place while Nottingham Forest was in the 19th place. Southampton opened with a 4-2-3-1 arrangement while Nottingham Forest charged with a 4-3-3 formation.

In this football match, S. Barrott will be the referee while T. Wood and S. Long will assist him.

Ball possession above 50% usually gives teams some control over their opponents. This is why the Southampton team typically goes for an average ball possession of 78% in an attempt to control the game.

Ben Brereton Díaz' life is not being easy in this beginning of his trajectory for his new club. Hired for this season, the player has not been performing well, a fact that was repeated in Southampton last game. Against Newcastle United, once again he failed to score goals, accumulating another bad performance.
