Nottingham Forest vs Ferencvaros prediction
Nottingham Forest could overtake eighth placed outfit Real Betis but there are seven teams in between themselves and the Andalusians, and the playoffs are likely. They did manage to earn themselves a much-needed defeat of Brentford in the relegation battle at the Gtech Community Stadium the other day.
They now face a Ferencvaros side that, under the management of Robbie Keane, are indeed tucked inside the top eight with a brilliant European campaign in which they have avoided defeat after seven matches. The Hungarians shared a 1-1 draw with Rafa Benitez’ Panathinaikos in Budapest last week.
Given how Ferencvaros have failed to lose this season in the UEL and Forest may well rotate given their situation, a good value bet in favour of the visitors looks the way to go for this one.
Nottingham Forest vs Ferencvaros tip: Double chance – Ferencvaros to win or draw
