What this means: where our model sits above the bookies is where we see value they don't; below means the market already has it priced, no edge there.
Liverpool 60%, the draw 20%, Nottingham Forest 16%. That's the shape of this one.
Liverpool (9th, 1 pts) host Nottingham Forest (15th, 0 pts) in the Premier League. Both sides will be targeting three points here.
We lean towards Liverpool at 60%. The edge is there but not overwhelming, so a stake-back-on-a-draw option is worth a thought for an acca.
Our PickLiverpool to win at @1.50. Model probability 60% vs implied 67%. The market is 7pp more bullish than our model, so this is a stability pick, not a value one.
Nottingham Forest have been outstanding on the road recently. Their away form is significantly better than their season average. Season-long, Liverpool average 1.0 points per game compared to Nottingham Forest's 0.0. that gap in consistency is hard to ignore. Nottingham Forest could be in for a similar cool-off. 1.8 goals a game against chance quality worth only 1.4. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much. A concern for Nottingham Forest: they're giving up chances worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.5 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Liverpool create chances worth 1.5 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them +0.1 a game on the balance. Nottingham Forest create 1.4 (giving up 1.5) for a balance of -0.2. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. Nottingham Forest are also scoring more than their chances suggest (1.8 goals vs chance quality of 1.4). Both runs could cool off at once. Nottingham Forest's defence is giving up chances. Worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 vs 1.5 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
Goals look likely here. Liverpool average 2.0 per game (2.0 at home) and Nottingham Forest chip in with 1.8 (1.8 away). Defensively, Liverpool concede 2.0 at home and Nottingham Forest leak 1.0 on the road. We make it 57% for three or more goals. The numbers back it without being overwhelming. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 56%. Two or more goals at @1.17 is a steadier alternative for accas.
Both teams score in 68% of Liverpool's home games and 47% of Nottingham Forest's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Neither side has much to play for in the grand scheme. no European places within reach and relegation isn't a concern. That can make for an unpredictable game with less pressure on both sides.
Liverpool are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 2.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Nottingham Forest, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Nottingham Forest have goals in them (1.8 per game) but their record at the back (1.0 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 9 meetings: Liverpool have won 5, Nottingham Forest 3, with 1 draw. These fixtures average 2.0 goals per game. 3 of the last 9 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool, Liverpool 0-3 Nottingham Forest, Nottingham Forest 1-1 Liverpool, Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest.
If you like Liverpool but want a bit of cover, the Home/Draw double chance at @1.12 , which pays out if Liverpool win or draw, covers 80% of the outcomes. Most likely scorelines: 2-1 (7%) and 3-1 (4%).
