Nottingham Forest v Brentford Odds : Six Pointer Showdown

Brentford striker Yoane Wissa leads the goalscorer markets ahead of tonight’s clash against Nottingham Forest, but forwards Chris Wood and Brian Mbuemo are not far behind in the betting.

Wissa is best priced at 9/4 to score anytime, and 11/2 to open the scoring. He remains Brentford’s main threat in front of goal and is likely to be on penalty duties if the Bees are awarded a spot-kick. His inclusion in most punter bet builders underlines his expected influence tonight.

Chris Wood has emerged as the most-backed Forest player to find the net, with odds of 11/4 anytime and 6/1 to score first. Awoniyi is priced slightly longer at 10/3, but there is growing belief he may start after impressing off the bench last week.

“The goalscorer markets are wide open,” said a trader from William Hill. “Toney always commands interest, but Wood is picking up more support as lineups begin to take shape.”

Anytime scorer markets have also seen movement on set-piece threats. Brentford’s Ben Mee is a 10/1 shot to score a header, while Forest defender Moussa Niakhaté is being backed at 16/1 to score from a corner.

Sky Bet’s request-a-bet section has seen hundreds of customer-generated wagers featuring goal combinations. One popular choice is “Wissa and Wood both to score” at 8/1, boosted from 6/1 this afternoon.

In the “player to have 2 or more shots on target” market, Wissa leads the way at 2/1, with Morgan Gibbs-White next at 10/3. These specials are becoming increasingly popular among younger bettors.

With both teams under pressure and vulnerable at the back, punters are backing forwards to play a decisive role in what could be a scrappy, end to end encounter.
