Key Market Insights:

- Both Teams to Score: No at +109 offers value given Forest's scoring drought

🎯 Best Value Pick
Both Teams To Score - No
Implied Probability: 47.8% | Estimated Fair Value: 55%
Why This Represents Value
This bet offers significant value because:

- 7 of Forest's last 8 matches had under 2.5 goals
- Brentford have kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 5 away matches
- Historical meetings show 4 of last 10 were clean sheets
- Moderate confidence level given Forest's defensive organization
The +109 odds suggest a 47.8% implied probability, but our analysis indicates the actual probability is closer to 55%, creating a 7.2% edge in our favor.
