Watford vs Nottm Forest Betting Tips and Predictions By Jack Critchley

The top two in the Championship meet on Sunday afternoon at Vicarage Road on Sunday and it looks set to be an absolute scorcher so here are our best free tips for the match.

Forest are yet to concede in the league this season, winning two of their matches by a single goal and thumping promotion rivals Bolton last week by 3 goals to nil.

Billy Davies has bought the feel good factor back and he has notably tightened up their defence which was notorious for leaking goals since the departure of Wes Morgan.

Jack Hobbs has been acquired on loan and Kelvin Wilson has returned from Celtic and Jamie Mackie will add an often underappreciated work ethic to their attack.

Watford meanwhile have carried on where they left off last season, scoring hatfuls of goals whilst also being a touch unpredictable. They beat Birmingham 1-0 on the opening day of the season, followed by a thumping of Bournemouth 6-1, but then found themselves 2-0 down to Reading before eventually finishing 3-3 in a topsy-turvy affair.

There is no doubt that both sides have a talented squad of players at their disposal and for many neutrals this should be game of the weekend in the Championship.

I’m wary of backing both teams to score as Forest haven’t conceded this campaign, but I would back Over 2.5 goals at 4/5. There have been over 2.5 goals in 12 of Watford’s last 13 home games and I can see this record continuing.

I am going to take a chance on a correct score, I can’t separate the two teams and believe it could be the second draw of the season for the home side and the first time Forest will drop points. 2-2 correct score at 12/1 looks appealing.

Andy Reid scored last week and he always appears to be handy from set pieces. He is one of the away sides most creative outlets and 7/1 for anytime goalscorer looks too good to turn down. I think at least two of the goals could arrive courtesy of set pieces and with Troy Deeney too short in the market, I would take the Forest midfielder to find his way onto the scoresheet for the second week in a row.
