Nottingham Forest - Stoke City 
With a 4-1 victory in the cup against Leicester, Nottingham went to Uwood Park, where they beat Blackburn 0-2, confirming their excellent image this year in the various stadiums of the category. Without being better than its opponent, it managed to repel its attacks, it was happy to lead in the 22nd minute, in the 53rd minute Blackburn was left with one player less and the 0-2 in the 90th minute sealed another double for Forrest. In third place in the standings away from home and with this victory he stepped into the top six. As long as it goes well away from City Ground, it would like to go into it as well. The 6-3-6 that he has as a host shows balance but for a team that wants to be in the play-offs needs correction.
This correction is difficult to make with teams like Stoke, which in turn is claiming a place in the top six and is 4 points away from Nottingham. As a guest, Stoke is 5-3-6, strengthened by a transfer to achieve its goal, got a draw in Huddersfield and won 3-0 at Swansea.
The favorite of 2.10 in the set is the home team but I will disagree. It was imposed on teams like Peterborough, Hull and Barnsley but Stoke are not at that level. It is on the same level as Nottingham and I think it has more hopes than the companies estimate. In terms of goals, their games do not go away in score, both for Nottingham in its stadium with 19-18 moving to the limit of under-over 2,5 goals, and for Stoke which has far from its own 14-14 in 14 matches. This will be my guide to bet on a double chance combination with goals and I will choose the combined X2 + under 4,5 at 1.78 by Stoiximan.
