Forest made the semi-finals of last season’s EFL Cup
Forest have advanced from nine of their last 11 home EFL Cup ties

We’re off to the EFL Cup for today’s best bet as Nottingham Forest and Burnley square off for a spot in the next round.

Forest are a much stronger side at home and they’re good value to win this game inside 90 minutes against a Burnley team who are still adjusting to life in the top flight.

Last season, Forest picked up 30 of their 38 EPL points at home – they are simply a different team when lining up at the City Ground.

Forest have won their last four competitive home games heading into this encounter, beating the likes of Arsenal and Brighton towards the end of last season, while they took care of Sheffield United this term.

Burnley also haven’t had much success at this venue over the years, winning just twice at the City Ground since 2000.

Forest have advanced from nine of their last 11 home EFL Cup ties, so their good home form also translates to cup competitions.

Burnley have lost both of their games to start the season, leaking six goals in the process. They are down on confidence and tipped to struggle again on the road.

Forest also made the semi-finals of this competition last season, losing to eventual winners Man United, so they know what it takes to put a deep run together.
