Nottingham Forest vs Everton Predictions

• Nottingham Forest have only won three of their last ten in all competitions.
• Everton have only lost two of their last 12 games.
• Four of Everton’s last five matches have ended 1-1.

Tricky Trees battle on in top-four race

Nottingham Forest are still on track for an unlikely top-four finish in the Premier League, but they may drop points against the division’s draw specialists on Saturday.

The Tricky Trees’ Champions League hopes took a blow as they lost at Villa Park last weekend, continuing a recent downward trend in form for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

They have now won just three of their last ten competitive games inside 90 minutes, and they come up against an Everton side that is proving very tough to break down under David Moyes.

Toffees proving tough to beat

The Toffees were in relegation trouble before the second coming of Moyes, but they head to The City Ground having lost only two of their last 12 in all competitions, including positive results against Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, and, most recently, Arsenal.

They did lose 2-0 at home to Forest in December, but that was their first loss to them since 1999 and they look a good bet in the double chance market on Saturday.

Draw specialists set for another stalemate

I do expect the spoils to be shared, though. Everton have drawn a league-high 14 times this season and six of those have come in their last eight games, including four 1-1 affairs in their last five matches. Nottingham Forest have drawn four of their last ten games, so a 1-1 correct score prediction looks a fantastic price.

A lot of Nottingham Forest’s hopes rest on the return of top scorer Chris Wood, who is expected to recover in time to play on Saturday. The veteran New Zealand striker has scored 18 Premier League goals this season and eight in his last 11, including one in the reverse fixture at Goodison Park.
