Contents
- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 9th December 2023
- Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 16:00 CET
- Venue: Molineux Stadium
Two English top flight sides separated by just five points meet this weekend as Wolves host Nottingham Forest.
Earlier in the week, Wolves welcomed Burnley, one of the new teams, aiming to break a two-game winless streak in the Premier League. The match was challenging for Gary O’Neil’s team, but they managed to secure a slim 1-0 victory, taking all three points. This victory exemplified their resilience at Molieux, making them a tough team to beat. The Wanderers have now not been defeated in their last four home matches, recording three wins within this period.
Forest has had no reason to celebrate in recent weeks, both on home soil and on the road. Steve Cooper’s team aimed to break their three-match losing run when they visited Fulham midweek. However, the Reds let in five goals and suffered another loss, extending their losing streak to four matches. Their winless streak in away games now stands at four as well.
Wolves vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Despite Wolves performing well this season, they consistently allow opposing teams chances to score goals. Their victory against Burnley marked the first instance in 13 matches that Gary O’Neil’s team managed to prevent any goals, maintaining a clean sheet. Betting on “Both teams to score &— yes” would have been successful in twelve of these matches.
Nottingham Forest, despite their strong start to the season, are now appearing to be in danger of relegation as they have allowed at least three goals in three out of their last four games under Steve Cooper’s management. The Reds have not been able to score in their last two matches, but we predict they will score this weekend, considering their track record of scoring in each of their last two encounters with Wolves.

Wolves team news
This weekend, Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil will once again be without Pedro Neto due to a hamstring injury.
After the strong defensive performance against Burnley in the last game, it’s not anticipated that O’Neil will alter his starting lineup. However, Matt Doherty and Boubacar Traore are pushing to be included in the starting eleven.
Hwang Hee-chan has been performing well for the Wanderers this season, scoring eight goals in 15 matches. It is expected that he will once again team up with Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia in the forward position, who have collectively scored five goals this season.

Nottingham Forest team news
Taiwo Awoniyi is dealing with a groin injury and won’t be able to participate in Nottingham Forest’s game on Saturday. The Nigerian professional’s recovery isn’t progressing quickly enough. However, the hosts have no players suspended for the match.
Last time out, Divock Origi was in the lead, but this weekend, either Chris Wood or Morgan Gibbs-White will take that position. Meanwhile, Moussa Niakhaté might step in for Felipe in defence.
