Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Preview
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham now have seven wins in a row, with six of them coming in the Premier League. No other team in the league can compare with them. The nearest, Newcastle, can boast five consecutive victories.
It should be noted that during such a successful streak, Forest only got one team from the top half of the table. However, beating low-tier teams is the key to achieving ultimate goals.

Nottingham’s main advantage in this match will be defence. Theirs is currently one of the best in the league and has conceded only 19 goals. Moreover, in the last five games, Forest have not conceded a single goal.
The squad have positive news: Brazilian Danilo has recovered. However, it’s too early for him to start. Otherwise, there are no major injury worries for the hosts.

| Team Strengths | Good defence, great realisation of chances |
| Team Weaknesses | Short bench |

Liverpool
Liverpool are in a slight crisis. First, they drew against Manchester United in the Premier League and then lost to Tottenham in the EFL Cup. Nevertheless, they’re the major contenders to claim the PL title.
Liverpool’s efficiency in the attack is noteworthy. If we take only Premier League matches, in 14 of the last 15, they’ve not scored less than two goals per game. Moreover, in the previous five rounds, they netted 18 goals.

The loss of Darwin Núñez won’t be too critical for the visitors. It’s unlikely that he would have appeared in the starting lineup. Joe Gomez’s injury is more unpleasant, but Ibrahima Konaté managed to recover in time. We’re waiting for him in a pair with Virgil van Dijk.

Bet hereNottingham Forest vs Liverpool Player Focus
Chris Wood is probably the best New Zealand player in history and currently leads Nottingham Forest on the list of top goal-scorers. Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White will also cause some trouble for Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah is on the path to repeating his initial season in terms of efficiency. He leads the league in goals scored and assists. In addition, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are in perfect shape, and we expect a decent display from them.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Tactical Analysis
Under Nuno Espirito Santo, 4-2-3-1 has been the primary formation for Nottingham. No changes are expected, considering that it’s worked effectively throughout their past fixtures.
As for Liverpool, Arne Slot is an advocate of the 4-3-3 system. Similar to Espirito Santo, he’ll stick to his formation. We can anticipate a battle of two opposite schemes.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Prediction
- Football pick: 1X (Nottingham or Draw)
- Odds: 2.19 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Liverpool
Nottingham Forest are one of the few teams in the Premier League that have been able to find the key to Liverpool’s undoing. So far, they’re the only club that beat them in the PL, and it happened at Anfield.
At the same time, the hosts are currently in peak form. The guests, on the other hand, have begun dropping points frequently. They’ve recently lacked reliability in defence.
We think that Forest will press their rivals in this match and build their game on counterattacks. Moreover, they’ll have more energy prior to the clash, and our pick for this match would be Nottingham or a draw.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Second Half Goals – Over 1.5
- Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
Liverpool’s second halves are more spectacular and productive than their firsts. The same can be said about the hosts. Nottingham score with approximately the same frequency in both halves of the game.
We assume that the teams won’t go recklessly into the attack from the first minute. Liverpool are aware of their opponents’ strengths, while the home side are playing the leaders of the Premier League.
We expect a match where the clubs will aim for the ultimate result. However, the action is most likely going to take place after the first half. Thus, our next pick for this match is over 1.5 goals in the second half.
