Premier League, played Saturday, September 14th, 2024
Here is our Liverpool v Nottingham Forest tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Liverpool home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Liverpool recorded a resounding and comprehensive 3-0 victory over their old rivals Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford just before the international break and The Reds will be looking for more of the same when early strugglers Nottingham Forest visit merseyside, while the east midlands visitors have produced a solid start to this new Premier League campaign as the Tricky Trees are unbeaten after their opening three league matches.
Liverpool have now won their opening three games on the trot of this new English top flight campaign having already despatched the likes of Ipswich Town and Brentford both by 2-0 margins and along with the 3-0 win against Manchester United last time out together with a 2-0 home win against Wolves on the final day of last season, The Reds have won their last four games on the trot and have kept clean sheets in each of these victories as well.
The bigger picture continues the theme of impressive results for Liverpool as the merseyside hosts have been dealt just two defeats in their last 18 matches overall, picking up 12 wins in the process.
In addition, Arne Slot's side have suffered just one defeat within their previous 32 games in the Premier League at Anfield which places The Reds in a commanding position ahead of Saturday's upcoming fixture against Nottingham Forest.
Nevertheless, Nottingham Forest will make their way up to merseyside in cautiously confident mood as the east midlands visitors are still unbeaten after their opening three games of this new term, picking up points in draws with Bournemouth and Wolves, both of which were on home soil at their City ground, along with picking up a 1-0 win down on the south coast away at Southampton.
Having beaten relegated Burnley 2-1 away from home on the final day of last season's Premier League campaign, that is now four games without defeat for Nuno Espirito Santo's charges and this will likely serve as a welcome boost ahead of this tough looking away trip to Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Results away from home in recent times have also seen Nottingham Forest turn around their form on the road as the Tricky Trees have won their last three away games on the trot but the fact still remains that the visitors have managed to muster only four victories from their previous 17 outings on their travels in the top flight - something that could come back to haunt Forest this Saturday.
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest Verdict
Liverpool have won the last three encounters on the trot against Nottingham Forest, two of which also resulted in wins to nil as well, while the bigger picture shows The Reds have lost just once in the last nine meetings.
Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.80
