    The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.

How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Nottingham Forest

Forest are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at City Ground, but short of the creativity to dominate.

Away

Everton

Expect Everton to stay compact on their trip to City Ground 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 Forest 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 Everton 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.
