BARNSLEY - NOTTINGHAM FOREST PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

League Table:
Barnsley P12 W4 D3 L5 Pts 15 GF14 GA16 GD-2- Average goals per game: 2.50
Nottingham Forest P12 W4 D6 L2 Pts 18 GF16 GA13 GD+3- Average goals per game: 2.42

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Barnsley are a solid outfit who give little away, however they have very little quality up front and not much cutting edge. Marlon Harewood is a fair striker at this level but Barnsley create little. Further bad news in the attacking department is leading scorer Craig Davies is looking at 6 weeks out with injury, terrible news as he has 8 goals so far this season. Barnsley are trying to address this and have just signed John Rooney, brother of Wayne. The forward has been in USA of late but did not make much of an impact, in truth this player is no more than League 1 at best.
Nottingham Forest were undone by a late equaliser away to Blackpool in what would have been a welcome victory. Forest are drawing too many games and in this division its not good enough. Struggling with injuries and suspensions coach O'Driscoll rarely gets a chance to field his strongest eleven. Daniel Ayala is a doubt after sustaining a hamstring injury against Blackpool, Adlene Guedioura will complete his ban after his dismissal against Cardiff and Sam Hutchinson is still injured. A reshaped back four again then as Forest seek to regain their early season solidity.

BARNSLEY - NOTTINGHAM FOREST: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

3.47 The Daw (Pinnacle)is the selection in this game. Nottingham Forest just cannot seem to get a run of victories together. Barnsley is a particular problem for Forest who cannot seem to get a result at Oakwell. With only 8 victories here in 26 games Barnsley have a hold over them at home. This looks a really tight game and with both sides strong at the back a draw is value here with Pinnacle.

BARNSLEY - NOTTINGHAM FOREST :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Nottingham Forest 0 is the selection here 1.81 (188bet) If there is to be a winner I can only see Nottingham Forest taking the three points. The draw is my selection for 1X2 so we will take Forest on the 0 handicap with cash back if the game is drawn. In a very tight game the odd goal might settle it and I cannot see Barnsley even scoring here so it cannot be them.

BARNSLEY - NOTTINGHAM FOREST:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 1.82 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Both sides are very tight sides and are strong defensively. Barnsley are especially toothless upfront and with Davies missing (scorer of 8 of Barnsleys 14 goals) they have little chance of troubling the scorer.. With both side's games averaging just 2.46 goals per match we are looking at a sure fire unders here. In the last 10 matches 8 games have gone Under 2.50. Total goals in the last 10 games is 18 goals at an average of 1.80 goals a game. Statistics show that 1.82 looks a cracking bet here.
