Top Pick: Mathys Tel Over 1.5 Shots -147 BetMGM logo

Morgan Gibbs-White to Score +195 BetMGM logo

Morgan Gibbs-White (Forest) has racked up four goals in his past four Premier League home matches. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +195 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction

Under 10.5 Corners -139 BetMGM logo

The 10.5 Total Corners line has not been covered in eight straight Nottingham Forest home games, while the same outcome has happened in six  consecutive Tottenham away matches. If you concur with our viewpoint that the Total Corners line is too big, go for a price of -139 that the sides go under.
