My Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest best bet: Sunderland moneyline (+175 at Sports Interaction)
Nottingham Forest might be in good form, but Sunderland have been exceptional at home this season, losing just three times at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland has conceded just 14 home goals, the third-best mark in the entire Premier League.
Meanwhile, Forest’s road form is due for regression. They’ve outperformed xG (expected goals) by 2.96 goals and conceded 5.47 fewer goals than their xGA (expected goals against) suggests.
