After finishing 16th and 17th on the table since returning to the Premier League, Nottingham Forest hopes for a step forward in the 2024/25 season. The start was encouraging, with four points from the first two league rounds. However, in the previous game, Nuno Espirito Santo's team lost after penalties in the EFL Cup at home against Newcastle. The teams were pretty even during the game, so the teams headed to a penalty shootout, where guests showed much more calmness, so Nottingham Forest suffered the first defeat of the season. 

Since returning to the Premier League in 2018, Wolverhampton have always finished at a safe distance from the relegation zone. The club will aim for the same goal in the 2024/25 season, too. However, Wolverhampton had a tough schedule in the first two rounds, so they stayed empty-handed against Arsenal and Chelsea. On Wednesday, in the EFL Cup, Gary O'Neil's team won 2-0 at home against Burnley, and that victory will certainly improve the team's confidence after two tough losses. 

Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton pick: Under 2.5 goals

Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton are both solid teams, but both lack higher attacking potential. Nottingham Forest scored only three goals in the last three matches, while Wolverhampton scored four goals during the same span. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
