Bitesize Prediction: Nottingham Forest vs Wolves – 31/08/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Looking to claim an immediate response on Saturday afternoon, Nottingham Forest will welcome Wolves to the City Ground.

Starting with the hosts, suffering real EFL Cup heartbreak at home against Newcastle earlier in the week as they slumped to a penalties defeat at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest will be seeking an immediate response here. Picking up their first Premier League victory of the new campaign last weekend as they snatched a 1-0 win away at top-flight returners Southampton, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are looking for a smoother ride this time around. However, opening up proceedings with a 1-1 stalemate at home against Bournemouth on August 17th, the former Wolves boss will have a headache over his side’s extended inconsistencies on home soil. Including their EFL Cup exit on Wednesday night, Nottingham Forest have remarkably recorded just a single victory from any of their previous nine competitive showdowns at the City Ground – a run that stems all the way back to a 2-0 win against West Ham back on February 17th.

As for the visitors, while Wolves might have extended on their EFL Cup adventure in midweek thanks to a 2-0 victory against Championship outfit Burnley, Gary O’Neil’s men have continued to show a string of Premier League issues. Eventually falling to what was a worrying 6-2 drumming at the hands of Chelsea last weekend, the former Bournemouth boss is desperately seeking some kind of boost. Losing all of their final three Premier League appearances last season by an aggregate score of 10-2, Saturday’s guests have lost six of their previous seven top-flight showdowns continuing on from the summer interval. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Wolves have recorded just a pair of wins from any of their last 13 matchups across all competitions. With that extended rut stemming back to before March’s international break, O’Neil’s men have also shown some glaring issues at the back. In fact, the Midlands-based outfit have failed to record a sole Premier League clean sheet since the end of February.
