Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Apr 1, 2023, City Ground
NOTTINGHAM FOREST and Wolves have both played themselves right back into the relegation dogfight mix after recent horrendous form, but something has to give when they meet at the City Ground on Saturday.
The Tricky Trees are bottom and Wolves third bottom of the form table and a loss for either would give them serious cause for concern.
There is one point between them and Forest are two points off the relegation zone and Wolves three in a remarkably congested bottom half of the table in which nine clubs find themselves within four points of the bottom and any three could go down.
Forest boss Steve Cooper must be kicking himself, in particular, to be sucked back into after a decent first half of the season where their home form was impressive.
But they've now won just one of their last eight games and are leaking a lot of goals.
Over in the Black Country, Wolves' record is one win out of their last six games against a Spurs team who were coming off the rails. They've lost three out of four and a 4-2 home defeat to Leeds United where they ended up with nine men was a disaster.
How the bookies view it
Nottingham Forest are outsiders on their own patch and are 19/10 with Boylesports to uplift a crucial three points.
Wolves are narrow favourites and you can back them at 48/29 with SBK. The draw is 21/10 with bet365.
Recent head to heads
Eolves beat Forst at Molineux 1-0 back in October and the sides also drew in a League Cup match in Nottingham which the hosts eventually won on penalties.
Forest haven't beaten Wolves in 90 minutes on their last six home meetings.
Players to watch
Nigerian midfielder Emmanuel Dennis netted in his last match for Forest in their defeat to Newcastle United and he's 19/5 to score anytime with UniBet.
On loan Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha gave Wolves hope when he scored against Leeds in their last game and the Brazilian is 10/3 to score with William Hill.
Anything else catch the eye?
Both teams look too flaky and out of form to trust to get the points and with a draw not being the disaster a defeat would be for either team, it looks the call here.
Confidence will be low and both teams have injuries and suspensions too.
And with both sides having depleted defences that have chosen the wrong team of the season to start leaking goals, both teams should find the net at an odds-against price with UniBet at 27/25 which looks generous.
