Nottingham Forest v Wolves

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Preview

Nottingham Forest returned to losing ways in the Premier League last weekend when the Tricky Trees were dealt a 3-1 loss away from home at Tottenham which now makes it just one win from their last seven games overall for the east midlands club, while Wolves slipped to a second defeat in three games in the English top flight after a 2-1 defeat at home to West Ham at Molineux.

That heavy loss in north London means Nottingham Forest now head into this weekend's action in the Premier League level on points with third from bottom club Luton Town and despite holding home advantage at their City Ground, this has been far from guaranteed in terms of picking up positive results in recent times.

The bigger picture shows Nottingham Forest have managed to capture just four wins from their last 21 matches overall with the slightly positive aspect being that three of these four wins were registered on home soil with victories gained over Manchester United, West Ham and Fulham respectively but the hosts have also been handed no fewer than 13 defeats within this 21-game period as well.

In addition, Forest have collected just three wins from their last 11 home games along with being dealt seven defeats but the goals market appeals here as six of Nottingham Forest's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Wolves dropped down to 11th place in the Premier League table after stumbling to a second defeat in three games when Gary O'Neil's side suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to West Ham which followed a previous 2-0 loss away from home at Aston Villa with a 1-1 draw away from home at Burnley in between.

Nevertheless, Wolves can be very satisfied with the progress made under manager Gary O'Neil this season as the west midlands visitors currently occupy the safety of a mid-table position and hold a significant 17-point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone heading into Saturday's clash at the City Ground.

Since just before Christmas, Wolves have suffered just five defeat out of their subsequent 14 matches played whilst also picking up seven wins in the process and it's worth noting that three of Wolves' five defeats were inflicted upon them on home soil at Molineux while wins on the road at Brentford, Chelsea and Tottenham show the visitors can also pick up points on their travels as well.

However, Wolves still have plenty of room for improvement on the road as the west midlands club have recorded just three away wins in their last 11 outings on their travels while six of their last 10 away games have also seen both teams score.

Nottingham Forest v Wolves Verdict

Each of the last three meetings have resulted in both teams scoring and this trend looks set to continue on Saturday.
