Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Apr 13, 2024, The City Ground
Wolverhampton Wanderers continue their push for a top half finish as they travel to Nottingham Forest for a Premier League fixture. Desperate to ease themselves away from danger, Forest have shown some fight lately and with Wolves pulling off key results on the road, a closely fought encounter could be expected.
Nottingham Forest suffered a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their previous Premier League fixture. They went into the break level thanks to Chris Wood’s effort but capitulated in the second half.
The result means Nottingham Forest have now claimed just one win from their last eight matches across all competitions. Given the recent results of teams around them, they are now closer than ever to the relegation zone, sitting level on points with 18th placed Luton Town.
Home form is likely to play a vital role in the survival quest and Nottingham Forest have shown some fight at the City Ground lately. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are unbeaten in three of their last four home matches and claimed a 3-1 victory over Fulham in the previous fixture in front of their fans.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been on a downward spiral in recent weeks and are winless in their last four matches. They have been beaten three times in that run and have slipped into the bottom half of the table.
Wolves travel to the City Ground off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham last time out in the Premier League. They took the lead midway through the first half thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s penalty but were unable to hold on.
A key thing about Wolverhampton Wanderers’ recent form is that they appear to do better on their travels. Gary O’Neil’s men have won at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks but were held to a 1-1 draw at Burnley in their previous fixture on the road.
