Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Nottm Forest and Coventry will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Oliver Glasner or Frank Lampard has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 78% probability.
