Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Nottingham Forest are currently 16th in the league and have lost three of their last five league games. They are two points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United, who have a game in hand.
It is hard to quantify what would qualify as a success for Nottingham Forest this season. While many will say that Premier League safety is the main aim, given the amount of money spent, some are of the opinion that they should have performed better. They have a bloated squad and surely a lot of players will be on their way out this summer.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, are 13th in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. They have improved under the management of Julen Lopetegui, although rumors continue to swirl around the future of Matheus Nunes.
The 24-year-old cost €45 million last summer and has done fairly well this season without truly being spectacular. Despite that, the Portugal international has been linked with Liverpool persistently.
Wolverhampton Wanderers to edge past Nottingham Forest.
