Nottingham vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips (11 February)

17th and under threat of the red zone with only 3 lengths ahead of West Ham 18th, Nottingham Forest need to win today at home against an opponent lower ranked than them. The two-time winner of the Champions League was defeated by Leeds last weekend 3-1. A defeat that comes at a bad time since the local team was able to beat the Brentford Bees 0-2 and hold Crystal Palace to a draw at home 1-1. In the Europa League, by winning their final league phase match against the Hungarians Ferencvaros 4-0, Nottingham ensured to finish in the top 24 and will play a first leg play-off next week against Fenerbahce in Turkey.

Wolverhampton Wolves, with only 8 points, are probably condemned to go down to the Championship. To believe in maintaining, the Wolves should have been able to string together a 2nd victory in a row against Everton, ending the match at 9 1-1, in the wake of their nice success against the West Ham Hammers 3-0, in vain. To date, Wolverhampton has fallen back into its old ways by chaining three defeats in the current series against Manchester City 2-0, Bournemouth 0-2 and last weekend for the reception of Chelsea 1-3, carried by a hat-trick from Cole Palmer. 

As for Nottingham Forest, the important long-term missing striker Wood, the starting defender Savona and the number 2 goalkeeper John Victor are missing. In addition, the titular goalkeeper Sels has joined the infirmary. Suspended against Leeds, full-back Neco Williams will likely be available again for his coach. Very interesting, playmaker Gibbs-White (6 goals and 2 assists in PL) is available, as is English international midfielder Anderson and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi (3 goals in PL).

Striker Igor Jesus (2 goals in PL) is also available. This winter, French striker Kalimuendo (Frankfurt), full-back Zinchenko (return from loan to Arsenal) and midfielder Douglas Luiz (return from loan to Juventus) left while goalkeeper Ortega (Manchester City), full-back Netz (Monchengladbach) and striker Lucca (Napoli) came to strengthen the squad. Furthermore, Ortega takes advantage of the absences at the goalkeeper position to take a starting spot.
