Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Head-to-Head Analysis

Understanding the analysis behind this fixture is an important part of sports betting. When you know the factors that affect the match, placing good bets is easier. That said, here are a few you should note:

Title Race

Liverpool are looking to win their 20th league title this season, tying with Manchester United, as the highest. With Arsenal breathing down their neck and dropping points against Man U, the Reds will want to win the Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool fixture. 

On the other hand, we have Forest, who surprisingly are in the top four and will be looking to qualify for international football next season. Winning the Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool match will increase their chances of doing so.

Recent Encounters

Looking at the first leg of the Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool fixture, which ended in a 1-0 loss at Anfield, the Reds would want revenge. It was quite an intense match with Liverpool having most of the possession and shots as you would expect. 

The Reds drew most of the fouls but had more corners totalling seven in all. Each team had four yellow cards, showing how fierce the match was. 

In the 72nd minute, Callum Hudson-Odoi scored for Nottingham Forest on a counter-attack with an assist from Anthony Elanga. This marked their first win over the Reds away since February 1969, ending a 55-year and 25-game loss run at Anfield. 

Liverpool will want to get their revenge for the previous leg and win the match. While this is true, the pressure would be on them, with so many fans expecting them to easily win the fixture. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest can stay relaxed and play as they always have.

Historical Performance

Unlike most fixtures, there isn’t much history between both clubs with there only being 14 meetings. Notwithstanding, as you would expect Liverpool has won eight times, Nottingham Forest four and finally 4 draws.

Betting Tips

After considering the previous factors, here are our Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool football predictions:

Liverpool Win or Draw: Despite losing the first leg, Liverpool would not want to lose the second for two main reasons. First, Arsenal is closing in on them and dropping points will decrease their chance of winning the league title. Second, with the Red’s form, we see no way Nottingham Forest is taking all three points.

Handicap (Three Goals to Forest): Looking at the previous six Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool fixtures, five ended with just one goal difference. That, combined with the home team’s impressive defensive record in the league shows that there might not be many goals. With three goals handicap to Nottingham Forest, this increases the chances of your bet.

Home to Win Nil (No): Based on Liverpool’s scoring form (especially Mohamed Salah’s), we expect them to score at least one. Or, in another case, keep Nottingham Forest from scoring from them.
