Nottingham Forest vs Wolves – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest welcome bottom-side Wolves to the City Ground on Wednesday night as both Midlands clubs are desperate for points to improve their survival hopes.

The hosts currently occupy 17th place with 26 points. Sean Dyche’s men recently suffered a damaging 3–1 defeat at Leeds United. This followed a home draw against Crystal Palace. Conversely, Wolves sit at the bottom of the table with only 8 points after 25 rounds. Rob Edwards’ side has lost its last two Premier League matches. However, a refreshed squad following the January transfer window aims to spark a “great escape”. Forest won the reverse fixture 1–0 in December thanks to a second-half header from Igor Jesus.

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves – Match preview and team news

Team News

Nottingham Forest

Sean Dyche manages a squad hampered by defensive absences and fitness concerns. Notably, Neco Williams is suspended following a red card. Matz Sels remains a major doubt with a muscle injury. Consequently, Angus Gunn is expected to continue in goal. The Reds are also without long-term absentees Chris Wood and Nicolò Savona. Murillo faces a late fitness test on a calf problem.

Wolves

Rob Edwards expects to hand full debuts to deadline-day signings Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes. Notably, the visitors remain without Hwang Hee-chan due to injury. Young attacker Mateus Mane is set to start after several standout performances. Consequently, Edwards may shift his attacking unit to accommodate the new arrivals. Ladislav Krejčí is available again to bolster the defensive line.

Form

Nottingham Forest

The Reds have moved into a difficult period at home recently. Notably, Forest have secured only one win in their last six league matches at the City Ground. They currently hold the 16th-best home record in the division. However, they remain unbeaten in their last seven meetings against Wolves. Igor Jesus has been a key figure, scoring the winner in the previous meeting.

Wolves

Wolves arrive with the worst away record in the Premier League. Notably, they have claimed just three points from 12 games on the road. The Black Country outfit has failed to win away from home this season. Consequently, they sit 18 points behind their opponents tonight. Mateus Mane provides a glimmer of hope, ranking first at the club for shots and expected assists.
