Championship relegation odds: Nottingham Forest cut to as short as 3/1
Nottingham Forest have been cut to as short as 3/1 to be relegated from the Championship following their defeat against Norwich City last night. That price has shortened from 10/1 since this time last week.
Forest, who are now a best price of 9/2 with a couple of bookies, are also by far the most backed in our Championship relegation market in the last seven days, with 34% of bets going their way.
Yesterday’s 2-1 defeat was Forest’s sixth game without a win and sees them teetering on the edge of the relegation zone by just one point. The Reds have only picked up three wins since Chris Hughton took over as manager back in October and the pressure is now mounting.
Forest have a quick turnaround before their next fixture, where they face seventh place Brentford on Saturday.
Wycombe currently favourites to go down, while Derby County drift
The current favourites to be relegated from the Championship are Wycombe Wanderers, at a best price of 1/7. Rotherham United are level on points with Forest as it stands and they’re also odds-on for relegation at 4/5.
Derby County have almost lifted themselves out of the drop zone and have drifted from the even money mark, but they’re still short in the market at 37/20. Meanwhile, bottom side Sheffield Wednesday are the other team currently shorter than Forest at 9/4.

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Chris Hughton insists he’s not worrying about a relegation battle just yet, but punters and Forest fans are thinking otherwise.
“There’s a long way to go this season but stranger things have happened in the Championship. We’re approaching Christmas and Forest, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday are all 9/2 or shorter to be relegated – clubs that not long ago were pushing for play-off places.”
