We have based our predictions on stats from Kickform, gathered from both teams’ performances in all competitions this season. We’ll now look at each leg of the bet builder.
BTTS: Yes
While we are not exactly expecting a goal-fest, the stats do point to both teams getting on the scoresheet. Wrexham have only kept two clean sheets in their last 10. Our stats from Kickform show that, in the Championship, 77% of their home matches have seen both teams find the net. Forest have only achieved three shutouts in the Premier League all season. They have scored in three out of their last four games and in three out of their last four away fixtures in all competitions. So we are kicking off our FA Cup bet builder with BTTS: Yes.
Under 3.5 Goals
While we expect goals at either end, we are not expecting an avalanche of goals. The stats back this up. There have been under 3.5 goals in 73% of Wrexham’s league matches and in 81% of Forest’s Premier League games. We can’t really see there being more than three goals in this one.
Over 9.5 Corners
The data points to the corner count hitting double figures. Wrexham have won an average of 4.46 corners per game in the league, while Forest have won an average of 5.48. 58% of Wrexham’s games and 62% of Forest’s games have seen over 9.5 corners. Given that we expect a typically intense cup-tie atmosphere, we think that there will be some careless corners conceded to give us at least 10 flag kicks.
