Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
Nottingham Forest will be looking to continue their positive start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. The Reds enter this match in seventh place in the league standings, while Wolves are second-bottom and yet to earn their first point in the new campaign. Let’s jump into the match prediction.
Forest were widely tipped to be among those battling the drop this season, but they have made an excellent start to the season and are one of only three teams that have yet to taste defeat in the top flight this term after the first two matchdays.
Wolves, on the other hand, have got off to the worst start imaginable, but they will be hoping that the midweek victory in the EFL Cup will mark a turning point to their early season woes and will look to follow up with another big performance here. On paper, this is arguably one of the most level matches of the weekend - let’s get into the key stats.

Nottingham Forest - Wolves: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest had a poor 2023-24 season earning just 32 points in their 38 matches, and even if they had not received a four-point deduction for breaching PSR compliance, they would still have ended as the first side above the dotted line.
However, all that seems a long time ago, as the Tricky Trees have made an impressive start this season, earning a 1-1 draw on opening day to Bournemouth before notching up their first win of the campaign against Southampton last weekend.
Unfortunately, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side’s first defeat of the term came in midweek, when they were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Newcastle United, though they will take heart from that performance having forced the Magpies to penalties.
Each of the last four matches between these sides have ended level in regulation time!
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers had another solid season in the top flight, finishing in 13th place for a second campaign in a row, though they did earn five more points than they did in 2022-23.
However, Wolves have endured a tough start to the season, facing Arsenal and Chelsea in their first two games, the first of which ended in a 2-0 loss, while last week they suffered a whopping 6-2 defeat in their first home game of the season.
A 2-0 win over Burnley in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night has been the only positive for the side so far, but that result did show that Gary O'Neil’s men are likely to be a difficult side to beat against opponents closer to their level.
