Nottingham Forest v Wolves

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Preview

After the opening two games of this new Premier League season, Saturday afternoon's hosts, Nottingham Forest, still remain unbeaten and the Tricky Trees return to their City Ground for this upcoming clash against Wolves on the back of a 1-0 win away from home at Southampton, while Wolves will be looking to bounce back from a particularly heavy 6-2 loss at home to Chelsea last weekend.

Nottingham Forest gained a point in their opening day of this new English top flight campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Bournemouth and followed that up with a 1-0 win down on the south coast against Southampton so the upcoming hosts will be in confident mood ahead of Saturday's clash with Wolves.

Indeed, the east midlands club have suffered just the single defeat in their last nine matches in all competitions which came in the form of a 1-0 loss away at Spanish club Elche in a pre-season friendly but Forest have also collected five wins within this period as well.

Admittedly, six of these last nine games were pre-season friendlies but nevertheless, Nottingham Forest are now unbeaten in their last three top flight games which includes a 2-1 win away from home at Burnley on the final day of last season.

By contrast, Wolves find themselves in a spot of bother already in the early stages of this new Premier League season as the visitors slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the top flight last weekend by way of a heavy 6-2 thrashing at home to Chelsea which followed their opening day 2-0 loss away from home at Arsenal.

Having been handed a 1-0 loss at home by Spanish La Liga outfit Rayo Vallecano in their final pre-season friendly, that now makes it three losses on the trot for Gary O'Neil's side and the former Bournemouth boss could soon find himself walking on a tightrope if his Wolves side do not start picking up points.

The bigger picture represents a rather bleak outlook for Wolves as the visitors have managed to capture just three wins in their last 17 matches in all competitions which were achieved against the likes of Luton Town, West Ham and RB Leipzig, the latter two wins being in pre-season friendlies, whilst also slipping to a total of 12 defeats within this sequence as well.

Moreover, Wolves have now failed to win any of their last eight outings on the road which includes being dealt no fewer than six losses.

Nottingham Forest v Wolves Verdict

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last three meetings at home against Wolves and considering the visitors' poor results away from home, Nuno Espirito Santo's side look to hold the edge in this one.
