One side of the split call landed for Nottingham Forest

The final score was Sunderland 0-5 Nottingham Forest. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The decisive turn arrived late when Elliot Anderson scored 90+5' for Nottingham Forest.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Nottingham Forest led Shots on target 4-6. Nottingham Forest also shaded Corners 3-6.
