Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• No side has lost more Premier League games in 2024 than Forest with seven
• The Tricky Trees have lost just one of their last four at the City Ground
• Wolves are winless in three on the road

Forest can take giant leap towards safety

Nottingham Forest are above the bottom three on goal difference but can they should feel confident in increasing that gap when they host a Wolverhampton side that has found life difficult away from Molineux in recent weeks.

The Tricky Trees are unbeaten in two games at the City Ground – with Crystal Palace holding them to a 1-1 draw before an impressive 3-1 victory over Fulham which arguably should have been won by a greater margin – while they have avoided defeat in each of their last three meetings with Wolves, drawing 1-1 within ninety minutes in each.

Gary O’Neils men have had a dismal time of things since being eliminated by Coventry in the FA Cup prior to the international break, losing two of their three league fixtures since while also drawing at 19th placed Burnley at the beginning of April.

Wolves have had their fair share of injury issues in the forward line as of late – with the likes of Pedro Neto and top scorer Hwang Hee-Chan likely to miss out for Saturday’s meeting, while Brazilian attacker Matheus Cunha has only recently returned from a spell on the touchlines and may not be able to complete a full match yet. The lack of firepower up top will likely hinder their chances of taking all three points, so Forest should feel confident that they can take the vital three points in this one.

Gibbs-White can haunt former employers

Former Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has become a firm fan favourite during his time at the City Ground, registering four goals and seven assists this season already.

The 24-year old will likely start against his former club on Saturday and it may be written in the stars for him to have the final say in this encounter.

A tight affair is expected at the City Ground, but the lack of cutting edge for Wolves could be the key factor in deciding whether this game is drawn or if a victor can be found. With neither sides boasting a convincing defensive record, both clubs should be able to find the back of the net in a 2-1 home victory.
