"Foresters" must take three points! Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
One of the matches in the third round of the Premier League will take place this Saturday at City Ground, where Nottingham Forest will host Wolverhampton Wanderers. Here’s a prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
Nottingham Forest
This is Nottingham Forest's third consecutive season in the Premier League, a notable achievement for a club with modest resources. Previously, "The Tricky Trees" focused on surviving in the top flight and managed to do so by finishing 16th and 17th in the past two seasons.
During the offseason, the team significantly bolstered its squad, bringing in players like Elliot Anderson, Nikola Milenković, Jota Silva, and Ramón Sosa. Under the guidance of head coach Nuno Espírito Santo, Nottingham Forest has had a promising start to the new campaign. They drew 1-1 at home against Bournemouth and followed it up with a 1-0 away win over Southampton. However, in the EFL Cup, they were knocked out by Newcastle United in a penalty shootout.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves have been on a downward trajectory in recent seasons. Not too long ago, they were competing for European spots and were a formidable side in the Premier League. However, those days seem far behind as last season, the team was embroiled in a relegation battle, ultimately finishing 14th in the table. Their form at the end of the season was particularly poor.
The summer break was supposed to rejuvenate the team, but the early signs suggest otherwise. Wolves began the season with a 0-2 defeat to Arsenal and were then thrashed 2-6 at home by Chelsea in their second match. Midweek, Wolves did manage a 2-0 victory over Burnley in the EFL Cup.
