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
Expect Forest to stay compact at City Ground and look for a moment rather than control the game.
Away
Liverpool
A side with title-level depth. Liverpool tend to suffocate opponents on their trip to City Ground, so Forest will need a disciplined, low block.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Liverpool 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 Forest vs Liverpool
Nottingham Forest take on Liverpool in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Liverpool's way. The gap in expected goals (1.07 for Forest, 1.81 for Liverpool) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 55% for Liverpool. Forest's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
