Nottingham vs Wolverhampton: match preview

Nottingham are currently hovering just above the relegation zone and the team still have a lot of work to do to secure their Premier League status. After 25 rounds, they have collected 26 points and have already gone through two managerial changes. A lack of stability has not helped their cause, and in their last five matches the Forest have recorded two defeats, two wins and one draw. They hold a three-point cushion over the relegation zone, but with plenty of games still to be played, the battle is far from over.

Wolverhampton are clear outsiders in the Premier League at the moment and are among the main candidates for relegation to the Championship. They have picked up just eight points from 25 matches. The team have not won a single away game this season. The Wolves currently boast the weakest attack in the league with only 16 goals scored. They also have the second-worst defensive record, having conceded 48 goals. In their previous match, Wolves lost 1–3 to Chelsea. The gap to Nottingham stands at 18 points, a deficit that will be extremely difficult to overturn.

Probable line-ups

  • Nottingham: Ortega; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams; Anderson, Sangare; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Dominguez; Lucca
  • Wolverhampton: Sa; Doherty, Mosquera, S Bueno, H Bueno; J Gomes, Andre; A Gomes, Armstrong, Mane; Arokodare

Prediction

Both teams will clearly be pushing for victory, as the threat of relegation looms large. That sets the stage for an engaging and tense encounter. I suggest a bet on over 2 total goals.
