Odds

Match Preview

It has been a memorable 2024-25 Premier League campaign to this point for Nottingham Forest, as the Tricky Trees sit third in the overall standings. Any talk of a potential European finish has been hushed to this point, but wins in their next two Premier League matches could potentially give Forest fans the ammunition that they need to dream about slightly bigger targets.

Wolves are one of the sides toward the foot of the standings that enjoyed a memorable festive period, as they climbed out of the relegation places after picking up two wins. They would have also taken huge confidence from their most recent outing, as they battled to a draw at Tottenham last Sunday.

Wolves’ record in this fixture also deserves massive respect. The West Midlands side have lost just one of their last 12 league matches against Forest, and they are unbeaten in the five meetings between the sides in the Premier League. Forest are also winless in their last four top-flight away matches against Wolves since a win in December 1980.

Draws have been a common trend when these sides have collided, with each of the last four ending level. Forest started 2024 with a defeat against Brentford, but they haven’t started successive years with defeats since 2007. Wolves have won their opening league match of a calendar year in just one of the last six.

Wolves vs. Nottingham Forest Picks

The home team’s form has improved following the appointment of Vito Pereira, but this remains a tall ask against a Forest side that are still improving. Therefore, the preference is for the Tricky Trees to continue their charge toward the top of the standings.
