Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Predictions
- Forest are winless in their last three Premier League matches
- Liverpool have won their last two matches without conceding
- Six of the last eight meetings have seen at least one of the sides fail to score
Forest’s Turkey shoot could prove costly
Nottingham Forest enjoyed an emphatic 3-0 win in Victor Pereira’s first match as Nottingham Forest manager on Thursday but that Europa League victory at Fenerbahce could come at a cost on Sunday when the Tricky Trees host Liverpool.
The energy-sapping trip to Turkey gives Forest just over two days to recover, not ideal preparation for a side looking to pull away from relegation danger.
The morale boost could prove handy but the Tricky Trees face a Liverpool side fresh from a week off following wins to nil over Brighton in the FA Cup and Sunderland in the Premier League,
The Reds’ revival has been slow and steady but they are still in the race for a Champions League spot even if the title looks to be beyond the current champions.
Injuries have hit hard for Arne Slot’s men but those who are available look to be gaining more confidence each week and we predict another victory for the Merseysiders.
Floodgates unlikely to open on the Trent
Liverpool are predicted to secure the victory and a modest margin of success can be expected.
Last week’s 3-0 win over Brighton saw the Reds close to their clinical best but the 1-0 win at Sunderland was a grind and more like what Liverpool can expect on Sunday.
Six of the last eight meetings between these two have seen at least one of the sides fail to score, and hitting the net has been an issue for Forest on home soil.
They will be buoyed by their 3-0 success on Thursday but they have scored just once across their last four home league matches, so backing Liverpool to win 2-0 looks a solid course of action for correct-score punters.
Another goal could keep Dom jolly
Domini Szoboszlai has been Liverpool’s standout player this term and he should backed to get on the scoresheet once more following a recent hot streak.
The Hungarian midfielder has scored some stunning goals this term and his threat from free-kicks and long-range shots make him a solid anytime goalscorer candidate.
Szoboszlai has bagged ten goals this season, including five in his last eight outings and he could make his mark once more on the banks of the Trent.
