Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Man City/Nottingham Forest (h) at 0.95-1.15. This means a 'buy' bet at 1.15 would need Manchester City to win by two goals in order to start turning a profit (e.g. two goal win would win 0.85x your stake, three goal win 1.85x your stake, four goal win 2.85x your stake etc.).
A 0.95 'sell' bet would need either a draw or Nottingham Forest to win to turn a profit (e.g., a draw would win 0.95x your stake, a Nottingham Forest win by one goal would win 1.95x your stake etc.).
Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3-3.2. This means a 3.2 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 3 ‘sell’ bet would need two goals or fewer to be scored in the match to turn a profit.
In the last 3 matches between these two sides at The City Ground, all three matches have not seen more than 2 goals scored.
Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. For example, a 3.2 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.2x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 1.15 'buy' Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended a draw, the bet would lose 1.15x your stake. If Nottingham Forest won by one goal, then it would lose 2.15x your stake etc. And in the 0.95 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.05x your stake on a 1-0 Manchester City win, 1.95x your stake on a 2-0 Manchester City win etc.
We also have our player spread markets, including Player Goal Minutes which will be available closer to kick-off. Phil Foden has been in great form recently in front of goal for Manchester City, and Erling Haaland found himself back on the scoresheet with a brace against West Ham at the weekend.
