nottingham-forest-vs-wolves-epl-prediction

Nottingham Forest are in a relegation scrap and it will be an extremely nervy end of the season for those of a red and white persuasion, while Wolves' season is petering out, although they do have an outside chance of landing themselves a spot in Europe next season. Will the three Premier League points remain in Nottingham and boost Forest's chances of survival, or will they be making the short journey to the West Midlands? Find out my views in this prediction.

🏆 Nottingham Forest vs Wolves: Who Will Win?

Nottingham Forest have been flirting with relegation all season, so their recent four-point deduction ended up being a huge blow to their chances of remaining in the top flight of English football. They are currently sitting in 17th place due to the fact that they have a slightly better goal difference than Luton. They played Spurs in their previous match and gave them a good game for around 50 minutes, but their opponent's quality shone through, and they lost 3-1.

Earlier on in the season, Wolves looked like relegation candidates, but Gary O'Neil came in and he has turned their fortunes around. They are at no risk of relegation now, but their chances of European football next season are pretty slim. They can just play their remaining seven games with no stress and see where they end up in the table. They took on West Ham in their last match and were unlucky to be on the end of a 2-1 defeat.

I am going to back Wolves to win this match as they can play with very little pressure while Nottingham Forest have the huge shadow of relegation hovering above them. When it comes to the scoreline, I am going to go for a 3-1 win for Wolves.

My Prediction: 🏆Nottingham Forest 1 Wolves 3 ⚽

💯 Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Match Odds

When Wolves and Forest met at Molineux Stadium on the 9th of December last year, they played out a 1-1 draw. The home team had most of the possession, but it was quite equal for shots and shots on target. Harry Toffolo gave Forest the lead with just 14 minutes on the clock, but their advantage lasted just 18 minutes as Matheus Cunha equalised in the 32nd minute. That was the end of the scoring, and the points had to be shared.

You will not struggle to find odds and markets for Premier League matches at the majority of established and new UK betting sites, but obviously you want to be placing bets with the cream of the crop. Below you can find five of the best bookies available to British football bettors and the odds that they are offering for three of my favourite markets.

🏅 Nottingham Forest vs Wolves: Match Winner Odds

Since Nottingham Forest are battling relegation and Wolves are safe, you are probably sitting there thinking that the away side will be the favourites for this game. However, this is not the case - Forest are the favourites which might be down to the fact that their minds will definitely not be on their summer holidays. I think Wolves will still take this game seriously, which means there is good value for money on offer. Check out the match winner odds in the table below:

⚽ Nottingham Forest vs Wolves: Both Teams To Score Odds

While the match winner odds tell us that the bookies are not really sure which way this match will go, there is one outcome that they are quite confident about, and this is that both teams will find the back of the net. This is something that I agree with, and I will explain my reasoning in the upcoming betting tips section. For now, all that you need to do is have a look at the BTTS odds below:

No2.172.172.152.152.20

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

The odds for the over/under 2.5 goals market are pretty close, which tells us that the bookmakers are not quite sure as to which way this market will go. They are slightly favouring the over 2.5 goals outcome, which tells us that they think a 2-1 win for Nottingham Forest is a very realistic outcome. If you want to bet on whether there will be over/under 2.5 goals, then check out the following odds table:

✔️ Nottingham Forest vs Wolves - Betting Tips

Before you go and bet using your own money or any kind of free bet that you have managed to acquire, you should do yourself a big favour and have a look at my Nottingham Forest vs Wolves betting tips.

  • Tip 1: Bet on Wolves to win: The bookmakers have Nottingham Forest as the favourites to win this match, but I disagree since Wolves can now play the rest of the season with very little stress. On the other hand, the Forest players know that any mistake could prove super costly come May and might subconsciously play within themselves. I think Wolves have a better team and the ability to express themselves should see them over the line. BetUK Sport are offeringodds of 3.25 at present.
  • Tip 2: Bet on BTTS: From the 32 matches that Forest have played this season, both teams have scored 66% of the time, while both teams have found the back of the net 68% of the time in Wolves' 31 matches. In the previous three meetings between these teams, both sides have scored, so even history suggests that clean sheets are a rare commodity in this fixture. If you also think that both teams will score on Saturday, then BetUK Sports are currently offering their punters odds of 1.63.
  • Tip 3: Bet on Chris Wood to score: Wood missed the matches between Round 23 and Round 27 due to a hamstring injury, but he has come back firing and ready to go. He has scored four goals in the previous five matches that he has played and should have had a brace against Spurs last time out. He probably had nightmares over the sitter that he missed from two yards out when the scores were level. With the form he is in, I fancy him to get on the scoresheet again and LeoVegas are offering odds of 2.95 at present.
  • Bet on Wolves to win 3-1: The odds for the correct score are often pretty enticing, which is why I often make sure to check them out. The pressure will be off Wolves in this match, so they can play without having to worry about making potentially costly mistakes. With their attacking options, I can see them causing Forest a load of issues, but I cannot see them keeping a clean sheet. A score of 3-1 has odds of 19.20 at Betiton Sport.

N.B. Always gamble responsibly. Set yourself a budget. Set deposit limits.

1️⃣Nottingham Forest Update

Forest spent a lot of money when they got promoted to the EPL in 2022 in the hope that it would bring them immediate success, but it has not worked out like that. They survived by four points last year, but their overspending has cost them four points this year, putting them on the edge of the Relegation Zone. They have struggled for goals all season and are leaky at the back, which is just a recipe for disaster.

They have picked up just the nine points from the previous ten matches that they have played, scoring an average of 1.30 goals and conceding an average of 1.60. You can see their previous five EPL results below:

Nuno Espirito Santo has just three players missing for this match, which is one of his better-looking injury lists this season. The absent players can be seen below:

2️⃣Wolves Update

Wolves are sitting in 11th place in the table with 42 points to their name, leaving them seven points adrift of Manchester United in 6th place. Mathematically, there is still a chance that they can claim a spot in Europe next season, but I feel that they have left it too late for a European push, especially after their defeat to West Ham last weekend. They would need to win their remaining seven matches and have everything else go their way.

They are currently l1th in the form table with 13 points from their previous 10 games - four wins, one draw, and five defeats. They have scored 1.40 goals per game and conceded 1.80 goals in this time frame. Below are their previous five EPL results:
