As the English Premier League action resumes after the international break, Arne Slot’s Liverpool are seeking their fourth consecutive win. This time, they face Nottingham Forest at Anfield, and with Liverpool in red-hot form, the betting markets are heavily favoring the Merseyside giants.
If you’re looking to make the most of this match through smart bets, here’s a breakdown of the best odds and predictions for punters in Kenya.
Bangbet Betting Odds Overview
- Liverpool to Win: 1.26
- Draw: 7.20
- Nottingham Forest to Win: 12.00
- Liverpool’s chances of winning: 77%
- Draw probability: 14%
- Nottingham Forest’s chances of winning: 9%
With Liverpool showing dominance in their first three matches of the season, the 1.26 odds for a win make them a strong favorite. While a draw at 7.20 or a Forest win at 12.00 are available, these bets carry high risk given Liverpool’s form and history against Forest.
Form Guide and Match History
Liverpool come into this match with a significant psychological edge, having won four of their last five encounters with Nottingham Forest. Forest’s lone win came in October 2022, but it’s an outlier against the backdrop of Liverpool’s recent performances. This track record reinforces Liverpool’s 77% win probability, making them a safe bet.
Additionally, Mohamed Salah is in exceptional form, contributing three goals and three assists in the first three matches. Betting on Salah to score anytime is another option worth considering, especially given his recent goal-scoring record against Forest.
Best Bets for Kenyan Punters
- Liverpool to Win (1.26): While the odds are short, Liverpool’s form makes this a high-probability bet. Slot’s side have shown consistency, and their dominance at home makes this a reliable option.
- Over 2.5 Goals (1.70): Given the attacking form of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez, a high-scoring affair is likely. Liverpool’s recent meetings with Forest have averaged over 2.5 goals, and their offensive firepower should push this match past the total goals threshold.
- Mohamed Salah to Score Anytime (1.80): Salah is Liverpool’s key man, and with three goals in his first three matches, he is primed to add to his tally. His record of scoring in his last two encounters with Forest further solidifies this as a valuable pick.
High-Risk, High-Reward Bets
For those looking for bigger returns:
- Draw at 7.20: While unlikely given Liverpool’s form, betting on a draw could pay off if Nottingham Forest manages to pull off a disciplined defensive display.
- Nottingham Forest to Win (12.00): At long odds, this is a high-risk wager. Forest would need to replicate their 2022 heroics, but if you’re backing an upset, these odds offer substantial returns.
Final Prediction
Based on form, head-to-head stats, and Liverpool’s strength at Anfield, a Liverpool win is the safest bet. However, for punters looking for better value, combining a Liverpool win with Over 2.5 Goals or Salah to score anytime would enhance your returns without taking excessive risks.
