Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest: why I read under 2.5
1xBet makes Crystal Palace slight favourite at 2.74, just ahead of Nottingham Forest at 2.76. The gap is tiny, so the market sees this as almost even. The run of 1-1 draws between these sides shapes it most for you.
Kick-off is 14:00 WAT on 11 October.

What the price costs you. Out of every ₦1,000 staked on this market, about ₦15 stays with 1xBet as its cut. I keep SBO in mind as the wide end of the list, where you would keep less of any return.
Implied is the chance the price suggests, and fair price is the price with the margin taken out.
| Outcome | Price | Implied | Margin removed | Fair price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 2.74 | 36.5% | 35.9% | 2.78 |
| Draw | 3.47 | 28.8% | 28.4% | 3.52 |
| Away | 2.76 | 36.2% | 35.7% | 2.80 |
My read: under 2.5 goals, as the recent head-to-heads were all 1-1 or 1-0 and that low run might end at any time.
Set a staking limit before you start and stop when you reach it.
