Why We’re Backing Sunderland-Draw Double Chance @ 21/20 with BOYLE Sports
- Forest’s European exploits could leave them vulnerable, as while Sunderland enjoyed a full week’s rest, they were involved in an intense Europa League battle with Real Betis.
- Since triumphing on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, Forest are winless in the top-flight and pressure is mounting on Ange Postecoglou to deliver his first win in charge.
- By contrast, Sunderland have lost just one of their opening five since returning to the top flight and showed resilience in coming back to rescue a draw against Villa with 10 men.

Why We’re Backing Wilson Isidor First Goalscorer @ 10/1 with Bet365
- The opposition striker has scored in three of Forest’s five Premier League matches, as well as Real Betis forward, Cedric Bakambu, netting midweek.
- Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor has scored in three of the five league games he has played for the Black Cats this season.
- Forest have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games, with defensive vulnerabilities being exacerbated by injuries to Murillo and Ola Aina.
