Nottingham Forest vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield | in Premier League Predictions
Third placed Nottingham Forest will be going all out to earn their 13th Premier League win of the season. After the midweek fixtures, the Reds are third in the table and host Southampton who are bottom of the table. Forest's winning streak of seven straight victories ended when they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Liverpool. By the time this game begins, they may have dropped to fourth if Newcastle win on Saturday. Can they end the weekend in third? Read our match prediction below.
Southampton went ahead at Old Trafford on Thursday but ended up losing 3-1 to Manchester United. With just six points from their first 21 league games they already look destined to make an immediate return to the Championship. Conceding goals is their biggest problem with 47 conceded in this season's Premier League. Only Wolves with 48 have conceded more than the Saints. Can they get only their second league win of the season?

Nottingham Forest - Southampton: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest failed to make it eight successive wins on Tuesday. Despite taking an early lead, they were held to a 1-1 home draw by league leaders Liverpool. Forest have won five of their ten home league games this season with only two defeats.
The most recent loss was to Newcastle United but since then they’ve earned ten points from four league games at the City Ground. Three of their last four home league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. All but two of the last five have seen both teams score.
Saints are still looking for their first away league win.
Southampton made a fight of it at Old Trafford on Thursday and led in their match against Manchester United. That was still the case until the 82nd minute but then Diallo scored a 12-minute hat-trick to condemn the Saints to their fourth successive league defeat.
Just two points have been earned from their 11 away league games this season with draws at Brighton and Fulham. The reverse fixture saw Forest win 1-0 at St Mary’s.

Nottingham Forest & Southampton Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest have few injury concerns ahead of this Premier League game against Southampton. There is still a question mark over Danilo who has been out with an ankle injury. He did play in the FA Cup last week but wasn't in the squad for the Liverpool game in midweek.
Ibrahim Sangare will definitely miss this game and he's not expected to be available again until next month. Forest are unlikely to make many changes to his team after the excellent performance against Liverpool. Former Saints midfielder James Ward-Prowse may start on the subs bench.
Wonderkid Tyler Dibling is likely to miss this game.
Southampton have a major doubt over the fitness of Tyler Dibling. He only played an hour against Manchester United on Thursday before going off with an ankle injury. He may be replaced by either Adam Armstrong, Cameron Archer or Paul Onuachu. The Saints will be witout Jack Stephens and Ross Stewart.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Southampton Prediction
Nottingham Forest will see this home game as a great chance to get back into winning ways. Forest did well to earn a point against Liverpool in midweek and begin the weekend only six points behind the league leaders. Home league form has been strong this season with five wins out of ten and only a couple of defeats.
Southampton had their hearts broken by United's late comeback on Thursday. They just can't stop conceding goals and are already ten points from safety, virtually 11 because of an appalling -34 goal difference. Our main Nottingham Forest v Southampton prediction is Nottingham Forest to win and over 2.5 goals.
