After making it six winners on the spin in La Liga on Sunday, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Nottingham Forest’s clash with Manchester United in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United (Tuesday, 20:00)
Nottingham Forest and Manchester United face off at the City Ground in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Champions League chasing Nottingham Forest’s incredible season continued at the weekend as they beat Brighton on penalties to book their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
As for Manchester United, they will be looking to end the season strongly after signing off for the international break with a 3-0 win away at Leicester.
While high-flying Nottingham Forest will have their backers on Tuesday night, I’m keen to highlight an alternative offering in the team corners market.
Manchester United can be backed to hit five or more corners at 10/11 with Bet 365 and that looks well worth siding with at the City Ground.
While Forest have exceeded all expectations this season, manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s safety-first preferences has coincided with his team conceding a high amount of corners this term.
In fact, the Tricky Trees have given up an average of 6.34 flag kicks per 90 in the English top flight this term.
A deeper dig shows that Forest are having to defend a shade under six corners per game in front of their own supporters this season.
What’s more, a sizable 11 of the 14 sides to visit the City Ground in the Premier League this season have covered the proposed 5+ corner line.
That 14-game sample has seen the likes of Ipswich and Southampton comfortably break the over 4.5 corner barrier on their respective visits to this venue earlier in the campaign.
Thus, Manchester United – who are averaging five corners per game in this season’s Premier League – are more than capable of following suit on Tuesday night, especially given that they should be the fresher of the two sides here.
It’s also worth noting that the Red Devils earned exactly five corners in this season’s reverse fixture, and that only adds to the appeal of siding with the same selection on the banks of the Trent on Tuesday night.
