Forest vs Coventry - Premier League Betting Tips (19/09/2026)

Nottingham Forest take on newly-promoted Coventry City in a Premier League clash in the Midlands. Forest are favourites at 1.66 with bet365, with visitors Coventry available at 5.00 outsiders. The draw can be backed at 3.80.

We expect Forest to come out on top against a Coventry side struggling after returning to the top flight. Morgan Gibbs-White is hitting form for the hosts and should have plenty of opportunities to score or assist in this one. Backing him to chalk up an assist or find the back of the net looks appealing.

Reasons to Follow this Bet

• Morgan Gibbs-White has one goal and two assists in the first four Premier League matches.

• Forest head into this on the back of their first win of the season.

• Coventry are pointless so far this term and have conceded 10 goals and scored 0 in their opening four.

Forest vs Coventry - Team News

Nottingham Forest are still likely to be without defenders Nikola Milenković and Jair Cunha so Ola Aina should continue on the right side of a back three with new signing Daniel Muñoz at right wing-back. Liam Delap netted his first league goal for and will look to build on that. Igor Jesus fired the winner from the bench against Aston Villa but may have to settle for an impact role once again.

Coventry are still without midfielder Josh Eccles and forward Haji Wright and will now have to do without the suspended Taiwo Awoniyi following his late dismissal against Brighton. That means the striker also misses this date against his former club and could see manager Frank Lampard turn to Ellis Simms to lead the line.
