Everton vs Forest Prediction, Odds, and Betting Tips

🏆 Everton vs Nottingham: Who Will Win?

Everton have been poor this season, but we must remember that they have had eight points deducted for breaching financial fair play rules. Without this, they would have earned a total of 35 points, which would have them pretty much safe by now. They played Chelsea on Wednesday and were absolutely destroyed courtesy of four goals from Cole Palmer. They will need to put that result behind them, and it will be interesting to see if they are able to do so.

Nottingham Forest are sitting one point behind Everton and one point above the Drop Zone, but the Toffees have a game in hand over their opponents. Like Everton, Forest have also suffered a points deduction as they had four taken away from them for financial irregularities. They know that if they can manage to match Luton's results in the remaining five matchdays then they will guarantee themselves a spot in next season's EPL.

A couple of wins for either team would more than likely be enough to see them avoid the dreaded drop, but I do not see either team getting a win in this match. I believe that it will be an evenly contested match that will end up finishing all square. Regarding the final scoreline, I feel that it will finish 1-1.

💯 Everton vs Nottingham Forest Match Odds

When these two teams met at the City Ground on the second of December, Everton picked up a priceless three points thanks to a 1-0 win. It was a very even match in terms of shots and shots on target and a draw would probably have been the fairest result. However, Dwight McNeil popped up in the 67th minute to give his team the win. This was the Toffee's first win since they had their first points deduction.

Established and new UK betting sites that are serious about the industry that they are in will offer a lovely variety of markets and competitive odds for this Everton vs Nottingham Forest match due to the popularity of the league all over the globe. Obviously, you want to bet with the best bookmakers around, so below you can find five quality bookies and the odds that they are currently offering for the match winner, both teams to score, and the over/under 2.5 goals market.

🏅 Everton vs Nottingham Forest: Match Winner Odds

Since these two teams are basically neck-and-neck in the table, you are probably thinking that their match winner odds will be quite close to each other. However, the bookies have Everton as the highly likely winners, which can be put down to the fact that they are playing at Goodison Park - Forest have the third-worst away record in the league, having won just two away games all season.

If you would like to try and predict the winner of this Everton vs Nottingham Forest match, then you can find the competitive odds in the table below:

Team
Everton	1.97	1.97	2.00	1.94	1.95
Draw	3.45	3.45	3.50	3.65	3.65
Nottingham Forest	3.50	3.50	3.60	3.70	3.75

⚽ Everton vs Nottingham Forest: Both Teams To Score Odds

In some leagues, such as the Serie A, you would say that there is more of a focus on defending. For example, Juventus have become masters at defending a one-goal lead. In the EPL, however, attack outweighs defence as can be seen from the fact that 1,046 goals have been scored so far this season - an average of 3.24 goals per game.

As a result, most bookies tend to favour the BTTS to score market for each match, and this Everton vs Forest trend does not buck this trend. Below are the BTTS odds for those who are interested in this market:

BTTS
Yes	1.68	1.68	1.70	1.66	1.72
No	2.06	2.06	2.05	2.00	2.07

🥅 Everton vs Nottingham Forest: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

While they are confident that both teams will score in this game, they are close to 50/50 when it comes to whether there will be over or under 2.5 goals scored in this match. As you already know from my score prediction earlier, I believe that there will not be three goals or more in this game. I will explain why below, but for now just familiarise yourself with the over/under 2.5 goals odds that are available:

Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Over 2.5	1.82	1.82	1.85	1.78	1.79
Under 2.5	1.87	1.87	1.93	1.92	1.93

1️⃣Everton Update

The Toffees are currently sitting in 16th place in the EPL table with 27 points from the 32 matches that they have played. They might have one of the best defensive records in the league, but when you are only averaging 1.00 goals per game, you are going to struggle in such a competitive league. Only Sheffield United have scored fewer goals than Everton this season, and the Blades, it has to be said, are one of the worst teams to ever grace the EPL - they are up there with the 2015/16 Aston Villa team and the 2007/08 Derby team.

Only Sheffield United and Luton Town have picked up fewer points than Everton over the last ten matches - the Toffees have got themselves into a sticky situation by only picking up seven points from the previous 30 points on offer. Below are their previous five EPL results:

Sean Dyche has several injury issues that he needs to contend with ahead of this clash with Nottingham Forest, and you can see their missing players in the following table:

2️⃣Nottingham Forest Update

Nottingham Forest are sitting in 17th place in the table with 26 points from the 33 matches that they have played this season. Like Everton, the main reason why they are in this predicament is because they struggle to score goals - they are averaging 1.27 goals per game. At the same time, only the bottom three teams have conceded more goals than them.

They are currently sitting in 14th place in the league table with nine points from the last 30 that have been on offer - two wins, three draws and five losses. You can see their last five EPL results below:

Nuno Espirito Santos's injury list is considerably shorter than Dyche's as they have just the three players who will have to sit out of this match. You can see these three missing players below:
