Before Betting On Southampton vs Nottingham Forest

It wasn’t the return to the Premier League that the Saints would have been hoping for last weekend, as they were ruthlessly beaten by Newcastle, despite playing against ten men for much of their fixture against the Magpies. However, Southampton were made to pay after making one mistake at the back, with the hosts taking full advantage.

That was a stern reminder that there is no room for error in the Premier League, and they will need to be more clinical in the final third after missing a number of clear opportunities against the Magpies on the road in their opening match of the campaign last weekend.

Nottingham Forest avoided defeat in their opening match of the season, but they were denied maximum points in the final five minutes against Bournemouth. Forest opened the scoring after 23 minutes, as Chris Wood netted on the opening day of the season for a third difference Premier League outfit. The draw also means that the Cherries are now without a win on the opening day in the last seven seasons.

Forest avoided defeat in the two Premier League matches against the Saints in the 2022-23 season, registering a 1-0 success on the road at St Mary’s. However, Southampton have scored at least three goals in three of the last four matches between the sides, which includes their 4-3 loss against Forest in the previous encounter between the sides.
