Nottingham Forest vs Wolves predictions: City Ground stalemate on the cards

- Nottingham Forest have drawn three of their last five home games
- The last four head-to-heads between these two have ended level
- Recommended bet: Draw

Nottingham Forest crashed out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in midweek but the Tricky Trees will be looking to bounce back as they host Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.

The visitors have lost back-to-back league games and are looking for their first point of the new campaign.

Nottingham Forest drew with Bournemoouth in their opening game of the season before getting the better of Southampton in their second.

They now face Wolves, who beat Burnley in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and the recent games between the two have been competitive affairs.

Team news

Danilo is a long-term absentee for the home team after breaking his leg in the season opener, while Ryan Yates is a doubt for Saturday as he battles illness.

Four players made their Nottingham Forest debuts in the game against Newcastle in midweek and will be hoping to feature again here.

Wolves will be without Sasa Kalajdzic and Enso Gonzalez as they both continue to recover from knee injuries.

Boubacar Traore is a doubt with a similar issue but the visitors will be handed a boost as Nelson Semedo returns from suspension.

The stats

There have been under 2.5 goals in four of Wolverhampton's last six Premier League road games.

Three of the last four meetings between these two teams have ended 1-1. Nottingham Forest have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last six head-to-heads.

No team has conceded more league goals in this early part of the season than Wolves’ eight.

Prediction

Wolves have endured two defeats to start the new campaign, losing 2-0 to Arsenal in their opener before suffering a 6-2 defeat at home to Chelsea last time out.

The Blues’ open style led to an end-to-end affair in that clash and if Wolves had taken more of their chances it would not have been such a demolition.

However this clash with Nottingham Forest looks set to be a much tighter affair as the Tricky Trees’ three games this season have each produced exactly two goals.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men drew 1-1 with Newcastle in midweek before losing out on penalties, making it three stalemates from their last five home games.

The last four meetings between these two teams have also ended as a draw and there may be little to separate the two sides once again.

Wolves should tighten up defensively after their battering last week and this may well be a game in which both teams cancel each other out.
