Nottingham vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips (30 December)

Nottingham Forest 17th are falling back into their old ways after being able to take the scalp of Liverpool 0-3 last month and Tottenham 3-0 in mid-December. Sean Dyche's players have since fallen to Fulham 1-0 and suffered another setback on Saturday against Manchester City 1-2. Enough to worry them a little more in the fight for maintenance. Forest is ahead of the first relegated team, West Ham, by 5 lengths.

 Everton 12th remains in 3 games without a victory in the Premier League. If they were unable to compete against Chelsea and Arsenal who lost 2-0 and 0-1, the Toffees then missed the opportunity to score a victory at an opponent within their reach, the relegated Burnley 0-0. David Moyes' team has never gone 4 games without winning since the start of the year. 

The tactical dynamics of this matchup promise an intriguing contest. Forest’s home performances have generally been stronger, and Dyche’s emphasis on structure has helped them avoid slipping deeper into relegation danger. Everton, on the other hand, have shown they can be compact and efficient away from home, particularly when they control midfield transitions. Both sides have displayed defensive lapses in recent weeks, but they have also demonstrated the ability to respond quickly after setbacks. With both managers under pressure to deliver results during a congested festive period, this fixture becomes more than just another league game; it becomes a test of adaptability, squad depth, and mental resilience.

Taking into account the recent performances, the fluctuating form of both teams, and the tight margins that have defined many of their matches this season, this encounter has all the ingredients of a balanced and hard‑fought contest. Forest’s home advantage may help them push forward, while Everton’s counterattacking threat remains a constant danger. Given the evidence from their recent fixtures and the overall trajectory of both squads, the most reasonable expectation is a shared outcome. Therefore, the predicted correct score for this Premier League meeting is 1–1.
