Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th September 2024

Anfield plays host to a round 4 match of the new Premier League campaign between last season’s third-best team Liverpool and Nottingham Forest this coming Saturday.

The two teams enter the match at Anfield with four points separating them in the Premier League standings.

Liverpool find themselves as number 2 in the league table with nine points from their first three matches this campaign. They are four points better off than Nottingham Forest, who rank as number 9.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Liverpool and Nottingham Forest are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Anfield as the teams look to get one over each other.

Liverpool show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.1 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 21 goals, whilst they allowed 11 goals against, for an average of 1.1 per outing. They pulled off four clean sheets.

Nottingham Forest scored 13 goals, conceded 16 and managed one clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Liverpool had a good reading on Nottingham Forest in their last two meetings, which they won by 3-0 and 1-0, respectively.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Liverpool Form

Liverpool swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 0-2 against Ipswich. They went on to defeat Brentford 2-0 and made it three on the spin against Manchester United in a 0-3 victory. Liverpool have been in potent form at Anfield, winning no less than five of the past six Premier League matches here. They also hammered in 13 goals, while letting in five as they also lost once.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Liverpool should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Nottingham Forest Form

In their previous three outings, Nottingham Forest won by 0-1 against Southampton, drew 1-1 with Newcastle, before also drawing 1-1 against Wolverhampton. Nottingham Forest won three of a possible six away matches in the Premier League, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored eight while also conceding eight times.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Liverpool should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

We expect Liverpool to make home advantage count but, the value bet could easily be the low scoring home win. We expect the guests from Nottingham Forest to put up a decent fight.
