Forest have not scored at home
Oliver Glasner's side have played Leeds, Tottenham, Coventry and Arsenal at the City Ground. They lost 1-0 to Leeds, Coventry and Arsenal and drew 0-0 with Spurs.
Their six league goals have all come on the road, including two each at Liverpool and Aston Villa. Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Brentford, which began with a Nikola Milenkovic own goal, was another blank.
Igor Jesus, who scored at Anfield, has trained all week after a calf problem and looks available. Nicolo Savona is still building up after his knee injury, and Nicolas Dominguez is out for around eight weeks. Morgan Gibbs-White has created 21 chances, but the finishing has not followed.
City have dipped
Enzo Maresca's side lost 2-1 at Aston Villa and then 1-0 at home to Brighton, where Yasin Ayari scored after 11 minutes. Erling Haaland had one chance at the Etihad, which Lewis Dunk blocked.
City still have the best goal difference in the division and Haaland has nine league goals. Brighton was the first league game this season in which they failed to score.
They won 3-2 at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Haaland scoring a late winner, but conceded twice in Germany. Antoine Semenyo is out until December with a knee problem.
Where the risk sits
City have kept only three league clean sheets, so the bet needs either a City shutout or a Forest win to nil. Forest's home record says the first is the likelier route.

Why we prefer both teams to score no
City at 1.71 asks a side that has lost its last two league games to win away after a midweek trip. Both teams to score no at 2.22 focuses on Forest's four home blanks instead.
If City win without conceding, the selection lands, and it also covers a goalless draw. That is a better price for the clearest trend in this fixture.
