Nottingham Forest welcomes Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon in search of valuable three points to help in the battle for survival. The hosts have been docked four points by the English Football Association, which automatically puts them level with Luton in the table. That being said, the remaining six games for both teams will be exciting.
Wolverhampton will mathematically guarantee their place in the Premier League if they don’t lose against Nottingham Forest. Gary O’Neill did a great job in his debut season for Wolves and the expectations of football analysts over the summer for a brutal campaign for Wolverhampton were not met. After 31 games played, Wolverhampton have 42 points and, with a bit of fortune, could even dream of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League.
My bet builder for the upcoming match between Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton consists of three selections. My first tip is that Callum Hudson-Odoi, the left winger for Forest, will have at least two shots. The Englishman joined the team in the summer after a transfer from Chelsea and is having a good season, especially given that he has missed a lot of minutes through injury. So far this season, Wolverhampton have conceded a large number of shots from the area where Callum Hudson-Odoi plays.
Callum Hudson-Odoi Season League StatsMy second tip is that Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood will have at least one shot on target. The New Zealander is in great form and scored in his team’s previous four Premier League games. Interestingly, before Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury, Chris Wood didn’t feature much for Forest, and when he did play, he wasn’t convincing enough. However, thanks to Nuno Espirito Santo’s philosophy, the New Zealand striker often gets himself into scoring situations, and as the stats show, he’s doing a great job.
Chris Wood Season League StatsMy last prediction for the game is that Pablo Sarabia will finish with at least two attempted shots. In the absence of the injured Pedro Neto, Pablo Sarabia is undoubtedly Wolverhampton’s best player. The Spaniard needed some time to adapt to life in the Premier League, and Gary O’Neill gradually established the talented former PSG player in the starting line-up. Pablo Sarabia has averaged 1.8 shots per game since the start of the season and has played a huge role in Wolves’ good results in recent months.
