Forest put up a tough fight at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup last weekend, but it wasn’t to be and will now be looking to kick on in the league to make it two wins from two games, in 2019.

They travel to Reading, who are one place away from bottom of the league, which will give the Reds the confidence that they can come away with three points after 90 minutes – especially as The Royals have lost all three of their last home games in the Championship.

Here are the odds for the Full Time Result from BetBright

Reading – 5/2
Draw – 23/10
Nottingham Forest – 11/10

Goals have been few and far between in the home side’s most recent fixtures, where there have been under 2.5 goals in 7 of Reading’s last 9 Championship matches.

Total Goals/Over Under

Under (0.5) – 15/2.
Under (1.5) – 23/10.
Under (2.5) – 3/4.
Over (2.5) – Evens.
Over (3.5) – 12/5.
Over (4.5) – 11/2.

As always, Forest will be looking to their main man, Lewis Grabban, for goals on Saturday, especially when you look at his statistics this season. Grabban has hit the back of the net 15 times, averaging a goal every 127 minutes and he’s 18/5 to score first and 11/10 to score any time on Saturday afternoon.
