Nottingham Forest vs Wolves prediction

Sean Dyche could really do with a victory here as Nottingham Forest hover just three points above the bottom three and the relegation places after a terrible result and performance the other day as they succumbed to a 3-1 loss to fellow battlers Leeds United at Elland Road.

Wolverhampton Wanderers sit rock-bottom in the Premier League table and, after a mini improvement over the turn of the year, are now 18 points behind 17th placed Forest. Wolves were comfortably beaten 3-1 by Chelsea, featuring a Cole Palmer hat-trick, at Molineux at the weekend.

Forest aren’t and haven’t been convincing at all under Dyche and this is must win for the former Burnley boss. Fortunately, it is a game that they should win.
