Chris wood Shot on Target
Chris Wood is having another cracking season for Forest banging in 19 goals across all competitions. Wood is averaging 1.21 Shots On Target per 90 across all competitions and managed to win this bet in both the league meetings between the sides this season.
The New Zealand international also looks great value to score if you prefer to take a higher price.
Man City Win
City might’ve been rattled by Forest last month but this is their territory. We’ve seen it time and time again under Pep: when the pressure’s on, City usually find another gear. Forest have made a habit of dragging games to penalties and have players like Elanga and Hudson-Odoi who can hurt you on the break. But missing Yates and Williams is massive and City’s depth even without Haaland, Rodri, and Stones should be too much over 90 minutes.
City have clicked into their usual late-season surge and are looking more like themselves. With De Bruyne pulling the strings and Marmoush stepping up, they should have enough to get the job done without the drama of extra-time.
