Swansea to win +1.5
Nottingham Forest have had an impressive run in the Championship the past couple of months; they are coming off three consecutive wins, and they have eight wins in their last nine games. However, it's fair to point out that Nottingham Forest have not done too well against Swansea in recent meetings. They lost three of their last four clashes with the Swans and have just one win in their last five encounters. Furthermore, Swansea have been a difficult team to beat as they have no losses in their last nine games. With all this in mind, we don't think Swansea will lose; but even if they do, it shouldn't be by more than one goal hence the 1.5 handicap.
Both sides to bag goals
We've pointed out that Swansea have no losses in their last nine games; we should also mention that they've been very consistent when it comes to finding the net. Russell Martin's men scored in all of their last seven games; conversely, they have seen their defence breached in all of their last five games. Just like Swansea, Nottingham Forest have not had too much trouble scoring goals; as they've done so in their last three, and 10 of their last 11 league games. Considering both teams scored in all of Swansea's last five games, we believe that both teams will find the net.
