Derby County v Nottingham Forest: Betting Preview - (2025)

Updated: 14/05/2025

Nottingham Forest will be looking to bounce right back to form in the East Midlands derby against their old rivals Derby County on Monday. Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last seven Championship matches away from home and have kept clean sheets in five of their last eight encounters. Derby County on the other hand have only kept one clean sheet in their last fifteen fixtures in all competitions.

For those confident Nottingham Forest fans, odds of 14/5 being offered by BetBright might prove to be very tempting indeed.

Full Time Result

Derby County – 1/1
Draw – 5/2
Nottingham Forest – 14/5

As already mentioned, Frank Lampard’s men have been struggling to keep clean sheets this campaign and when you couple this with the deadly form of Lewis Grabban and Joe Lolley this season, it’s easy to see why Forest fans might be confident of a few goals on Monday night.

This promises to be a very competitive affair and bar the odd exception both teams have found the back of the net frequently this season.

Both Teams to Score

Yes – 3/4
No – 19/20

Nottingham Forest fans will understandably be hoping for a win on Monday to regain their foothold in the Championship playoffs and this should prove to be a tight game with only 3 points separating the sides in the table.

There have been less than 2.5 goals in five out of Nottingham Forest’s last six fixtures, where the anomaly was of course, the thrilling 5-5 draw away to Aston Villa at the end of November, so it would be no surprise to see another low-scoring game again on Saturday.

Total Goals Over/Under

Under (0.5) – 8/1
Under (1.5) – 5/2
Under (2.5) – 17/10
Over (2.5) – 10/11
Over (3.5) – 23/10
Over (4.5) – 5/1

If you’re looking to back the correct score this Monday night, it’s also worth remembering that before the Preston disappointment, in Forest’s previous two victories, the score has been 2-0.

Correct Score

1:0 – 6/1.
2:0 – 8/1.
2:1 – 7/1.
3:1 – 14/1
