Our prediction for the match Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
“The Foresters” replaced their coach during the previous cycle. Not everyone understood the decision to fire Steve Cooper, who had raised the club from the Championship and kept it at a forgotten level. Nevertheless, his successor managed, even with a point penalty, to finish in the “borderline” 17th place. Klopp, having announced his departure in advance, finally raised “the Reds” to the top 3 of the Premier League and won the League Cup.
The arrival of Arne Slot, who had not previously worked in the Foggy Albion, was perceived with apprehension. So far, everything has been going great: 100% results in the Champions League and sole leadership in the Premier League. However, there were more and more misfires in the winter. And the club lost in the League Cup struggle with Tottenham – 0-1. Then they rehabilitated themselves in the FA Cup meeting with modest Accrington Stanley, defeating the outsider with a 4-0 score. No less a surprise was provided by the Portuguese mentor and his wards. They were steadily gaining points and rose to 3rd place with a series of victories in December and January. Having defeated Wolverhampton, the club is on par with Arsenal – both have got 40 points. A cup match with Luton brought a grandmaster 2-0 result.
The hosts score only 1.37 goals per round, but they concede noticeably less, exactly 1 goal per game. The Premier League leader has got a defence at the same level, and Salah and the company score almost 2.5 goals on average.
