Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.
Home edge
Edge: Brentford
Brentford are the better side and at home, which our model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two advantages stack.
Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (50% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Brentford

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Away
Nottingham Forest
Expect Forest to stay compact on their trip to Gtech Community Stadium and look for a moment rather than control the game.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Brentford name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Forest score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Brentford vs Forest
Brentford take on Nottingham Forest in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Brentford's way. The gap in expected goals (1.60 for Brentford, 1.09 for Forest) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 49% for Brentford. Forest's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
