Wolves vs Nottm Forest Preview

Wolves vs Nottm Forest will be the last match in gameweek 20 of the Premier League and will be played on January 6 as the 17^th placed side gears up to face the team in third place.

The hosts will enter this match on the back of a mixed run of form of late. They have won just two of their last five matches across competitions, drawing one and falling to two defeats as well. In this run, Wolves have scored nine goals and conceded six, keeping two clean sheets in the process. They are unbeaten in their last three matches and will draw confidence from that momentum. Wolves drew 2-2 against Tottenham last time and will look to do one better.

Forest, on the other hand, have navigated a challenging run of games with perfection as they will enter this game on the back of a great run of form. They have won each of their last five matches across competitions, scoring 10 goals and conceding just three, keeping three clean sheets in the process as well. With wins against Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham in this run, they will carry supreme confidence into their next few games.

On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.

Wolves vs Nottm Forest Head-to-Head Record

These two teams share an incredible head-to-head record in recent times, but fans of neither of the two clubs will be happy reading it. There is absolutely nothing to separate these two teams across the last five matches as each of those has ended in a draw after 90 minutes. The exception was their EFL Cup clash in 2023 which Forest won 4-3 on penalties.

Key Players to Watch

Matheus Cunha (Wolves)

The Brazilian has been in great form for Wolves this season and has been their top contributor in the Premier League. He has scored 10 goals and also chipped in with four assists, taking his tally to 14 for the season. He has scored three goals and also bagged one assist in his last four appearances and will look to carry that form forward.

Chris Wood (Nottm Forest)

The Englishman has been Nuno Santo’s top weapon up top as he has racked up 11 goals and also provided one assist in the Premier League so far this season. He scored one and assisted one goal in his team’s last match against Everton and will look to carry that form into the next one.

Wolves vs Nottm Forest Prediction

There is literally nothing to separate these two teams based on their recent head-to-head records. Their respective form guides also suggest they are both in fairly decent form. However, Forest are near the top of the table and their quality will come through in a narrow win.

Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Nottm Forest.
