Research - Why We're Backing This Wolves vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Bet Builder

Wolves suffered yet another poor result at the weekend, losing 1-0 to Aston Villa, but new manager Rob Edwards wouldn't have been too down over the result. They had a goal ruled out by VAR, forced Martinez into some key saves and almost got a goal through Yerson Mosquera. It may have made it four matches without a goal for Wolves, but at home they have been decent scorers; they scored three in the league cup against Chelsea, twice over two games against Everton (one in the league and one in the cup) and found three against West Ham.

Forest come into the game off the back of a defeat to Brighton, where they were dominated by the Seagulls for the most part before finding their feet in the second half. They'll be chasing a response at Molineux, but Wolves should have enough in them to at least mark The Red's card once on their travels.

Wolves top the Premier League for fouls committed this season, with an almighty 21 against Aston Villa last time out. Six of those 21 fouls came from midfield duo Andre and Joao Gomes, who will be stepping into an engine room with heavily-linked Manchester City target Elliot Anderson - a player who is fouled on an average of 2.77 times per game this term, and drew four fouls against Brighton alone.

Morgan Gibbs-White is a controversial player in Wolves standing. The England and Nottingham Forest star cut his teeth at Molineux after 14 years of development, but his departure to Forest in 2022 left a sour taste in many a mouth down in the West Midlands. When facing his former employers, he seems to up his game and revels in the jeers that come his way from the old gold following - he's had six shots on target in his last five league matches anyway, and has had a shot on target in five of the last six matches he has played against Wolves since his move as well. Manager Sean Dyche confirmed that he would be likely available to appear in this game after a worrying injury withdrawal against Brighton.

Across two Premier League matches last term, 10 yellow cards were dished out when Nottingham Forest squared off with Wolves with the fixture getting feistier as the months roll on by. With the context of the Premier League table in mind, it would be no shock to see it kick off again in this clash. Wolves were a frustrated figure in the clash with Aston Villa, earning four yellow cards to bring this market in as a winner all by themselves, and referee Tim Robinson is brandishing an average of 3.63 yellows per game so far this season.

To lift the veil slightly... I am a Nottingham Forest fan. So, when I say that fans are clamouring for Forest's summer arrival (their record signing, no less) to make his first Premier League start, I mean it.

Hutchinson, signed from Ipswich Town in the summer for north of £35m, has made a real difference from the bench in recent weeks. He grabbed a vital assist off the bench against Leeds, was the catalyst for The Reds' 3rd goal against Liverpool and provided Forest with a massive edge in their loss to Brighton. He's getting better by the cameo, and with Forest looking to take the game to an opponent it's likely he will start instead of midfielder-by-trade Nico Dominguez. Celebrating the occasion with a goal contribution? Well, that would be fitting as he grows by the match.

There has been at least three match goals in three of Forest's last four matches and in four of Wolves' last six, and with a lot hanging in the balance for two teams with fluttering early worries over the drop zone (and two teams who dislike each other greatly) we're expecting the game to open out to this tune as well. See also, the Both Teams to score line amidst Wolves' decent record at home lately to break their scoreless duck.

David Wolfe (fitting surname) gave away two fouls last time out in Wolves' feisty clash with Aston Villa and will likely be up against an Omari Hutchinson who drew 1.5 fouls per-game on average last season, and has drawn at least one foul in four of his last five appearances from the bench, despite averaging just 38 minutes of play overall in each of those games.

Finally, Wolves' right-of-defence does almost nothing to prevent the threat of left-wingers. In each of their last three outings, the Molineux outfit have faced a shot on target from the left-flanking opposition player in each one, and have faced one from outside the box in two of them (from Alejandro Garnacho and Yeremy Pino with the latter scoring). Callum Hudson-Odoi is a volume shooter from distance who has made a name for himself at The City Ground as a player who loves to carve inside and have a pop at goal. He's had 6 attempts from range this season, hitting the target with two of them, and Wolves' impotency in defending from his area of the pitch will encourage him to have at least one go from range.
