Swansea vs Nottingham Prediction & Betting Tips (17 September)

Swansea plays its eighth successive season in Championship. The objective is always the same, being able to compete with the best in the 2nd step to hang a spot for minimum for the premier League playoffs. At the start of the season, the Welshmen started pretty well with two victories and a draw after four days. The successes were written without conceding a goal against Sheffield United 1-0 and before the international break on the grass of the Sheffield Wed 0-2. Last weekend, Swansea crossed the iron with the Hull City Tigers at home. The first result of the Premier League, Nottingham obtained his ticket to participate in the Europa League this season by finishing in 7th place in the championship last May.

However, as strange as it is, certainly, pushed by a fairly shy start to the season with a single victory against Brentford at home 3-1, a draw at Palace 1-1 but above all a setback at home just before the international break 0-3, the Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo was removed from his functions as a coach. One of the real reasons for the dismissal of the Portuguese coach remains his criticism of the owner of the club who has not passed. It is Angel Postcoglou, winner of the Europa League with Tottenham last season who will succeed the Portuguese technician. The latter being without a club following his dismissal of the Spurs despite the title in C3. 

The Portuguese defender Ricardo Santos signed freely from Bolton this summer but he is injured and unfit to evolve today. This is the only information of the medical point to report. Of the 4 goals scored by Swansea in the league, half of the former Bordeaux and international Slovenian Vipotnik (7 championship achievements last season). He will be present in the image of the striker Ronald, author of the 2 other goals of the workforce. Note the pretty blows of the Welsh leaders with the signatures of Zeidane Inoussa (Hacken) and that of the Australian international central defender Burgess (Ipswich). Note the presence of the excellent Portuguese midfielder Goncalo Franco.

 A indisputable holder in the middle of the field, Nicolas Dominguez has still not launched his season due to an injury and should miss the call today. He is accompanied by the infirmary by recruit Nicolo Savona (2 goals with Juventus in his last year), also injured. The former Parisian but still Rennais Arnaud Kalimuendo signed this summer in the Kingdom this summer but has not yet been decisive (only 22 minutes of playing time before the international break). The Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz also signed from Juventus since the latter could not make a place in it while offensively, Nottingham did strong by offering himself the services of the Brazilian Igor Jesus from Botafogo, player to follow this season and potentially on the match sheet today. Note also the presence of the promising Mcatee, an international English hope, landed this summer from City (without future under Pep Guardiola). 

• Summary: Swansea City is going head to head with Nottingham Forest starting on 17 Sept 2025 at 19:00 UTC at Swansea.com Stadium stadium, Swansea city, Wales. The match is a part of the EFL Cup .
