Everton vs Nottingham Forest prediction and betting tips on April 21, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 34th round of the English Premier League will be played on Sunday in Liverpool, where at Goodison Park, the local Everton will host Nottingham Forest. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Everton
The "Toffees" are enduring a distinctly weak season and are currently battling for survival in the Premier League. Sean Dyche's team has amassed 27 points in 32 matches, placing them 16th in the league table. Their lead over the relegation zone is only two points, a margin largely owed not to Everton's success but rather to the recovery of 4 points. In the previous round, Everton faced a daunting away fixture against Chelsea, suffering a heavy defeat with a scoreline of 6-0. This defeat marks the third for the Merseyside club in their last five matches.
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo's side is engaged in a desperate struggle to maintain their status in the elite division. After 33 matches played, the "Forest" have garnered a total of 26 points. They hold just a one-point lead over their closest relegation rival, Luton Town. Recently, Nottingham Forest secured a victory in the championship, their first in a long while. Playing at home, they defeated Fulham with a score of 3-1. However, the Forest fell short in subsequent matches, losing 1-3 to Tottenham, and settling for a 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton on their home turf last weekend.
