Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd October 2022

Bookmakers favour Liverpool to win against Nottingham Forest in their next Premier League match. This takes place on Saturday with the hosts in decent form, and a win seems quite likely. Naturally, Nottingham Forest will put up a fight at the City Ground, Nottingham, though. This is the first time Nottingham Forest squares up against Liverpool in the Premier League in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

With 16 points after ten games, Liverpool currently rank seventh in the Premier League standings. Nottingham Forest play catch-up as they recorded six points in 11 matches, putting them up as 19th before their upcoming clash.

With 4 defeats from their last 6 games across all tournaments, the situation at Nottingham Forest could probably be a lot better. They need to improve their game or prepare for more disappointment as they face Liverpool at home.

Nottingham Forest are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net seven times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.7 goals per game, as they conceded 21 goals. They managed two clean sheets in these matches.

Liverpool enter their next Premier League match, averaging a highly satisfactory 2.2 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a presentable total of 22 goals, while also conceding 12 times. That is a total average of 1.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Prediction

Nottingham Forest form

Nottingham Forest failed to win any of their last three matches, though they gained a point against Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Wolverhampton in a 1-0 defeat. Most recently, they settled for a 0-0 draw against Brighton. Nottingham Forest claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing three matches, in which they scored six and conceded nine goals.

They were expected to struggle to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season, and sadly for Nottingham Forest, they remain on course for the drop.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Rangers, who were defeated by 1-7. Then, Manchester City got outclassed in a 1-0 won, before beating West Ham by 1-0. Liverpool, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the Premier League.

Ambitions are high for Liverpool, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.
