The 2019/20 football season is in full swing, and this weekend the next game weeks will take place in the national leagues. Corner-stats.com team decided to consider the second strongest English league - Championship, where the teams have already played 8 matches each.
If we talk about our previous forecast, it’s difficult to call it other way as a complete bad luck, because after 7 corners in the 1 half in the 2 half, Verona and Milan delivered only 2 corners (our forecast was on Asian total corners over 10).
So, let's look at the match of the 9th game week of Championship: Stoke City - Nottingham Forest. Stoke lost 6 of 8 starting matches, and played 2 games in a draw. On the contrary, Nottingham Forest has the best start in the last 5 seasons in Championship:

It seems that the team has seriously set their sights on entering Premier League after this season. Recall that Nottingham Forest is one of the 10 most successful clubs in the history of English football (champion of England in the 1977/78 season).
3 days ago, the teams played matches in League Cup and simultaneously left the tournament. Judging by the loss of Nottingham Forest to Arsenal in the cup with a score of 5:0, the team did not really strain, which can confirm the priority of the team in favor of Championship. In turn, Stoke City lost on penalties from Crowley, which may say that the team wanted to go further, but could not.
Thus, we have a weak Stoke City against a good and motivated Nottingham Forest, so the Corner-stats.com team believes that the choice on asian handicap +0.25 for Nottingham at the odds 1.86 (Pinnacle) is not bad.
