Where the money is
How much money is actually on each selection, next to what the price says it should be. A gap is not a tip — it just means the crowd and the book disagree.

Nottingham Forest**Brentford's the class act here, and a trip to West London has never been kind to Forest.** 🔴 This feels like a **Bees corner** in the table stakes, even if both sides are sputtering a touch lately.
Brentford have won 11 of the last 22 head-to-heads and own the home advantage; Forest have lost three of their last four and just got spanked 3-1 by Palace. The visitors' creative engine looks stretched with key injuries eating into depth.
Key storylines:
- **Brentford's midfield stability** through Sangare and Janelt could dominate a Forest side chasing balance with McAtee and Schlager
- **Gibbs-White carries Forest's attacking hopes** — he'll need space in that attacking pairing alongside Delap to threaten Kelleher
- **Defensive solidity wins it** — Ajer and Collins vs Murillo and Williams is a toss-up, but the Bees' wingback pressure (Kayode, Lewis-Potter) should wear Forest down over 90 mins
Expected lineups:
- **Brentford**: Kelleher, Lewis-Potter, Ajer, Collins, Kayode, Janelt, Sangare, Anthony, Damsgaard, Ouattara, Thiago
- **Nottingham Forest**: Sels, Williams, Murillo, Jair, Aina, McAtee, Schlager, Domínguez, Ndoye, Delap, Gibbs-White
Prediction:
**Brentford 2-0 Nottingham Forest** 🎯
Lean Brentford — they've got the personnel and the pattern play to exploit a fatigued Forest.
