Nottingham Forest v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Following their 1-0 win at Molineux in December, Nottingham Forest are looking to complete their first league double over Wolves since 2012-13, and first in the top-flight since 1980-81.

Wolves have lost their last two meetings with Nottingham Forest, having lost just one of their previous 14 against them in all competitions (W6 D7).

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last nine home games against Wolves in all competitions (D5 L4), with each of the last four being drawn.

Nottingham Forest lost 3-0 at home to West Ham in August when the Hammers were bottom of the table. The last team to lose at home to two different 20th-placed sides in a Premier League campaign were Everton in 2022-23 (vs Wolves and Southampton).

Nottingham Forest have alternated between winning (3) and losing (2) their last five midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games, beating West Ham 2-1 last time out.

Wolves are winless in their last six midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) Premier League away games (D3 L3), since a 4-1 win at Brentford in December 2023.

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last four Premier League home games, with two defeats followed by two draws. They last drew three in a row at the City Ground in October 2023.

Wolves are winless in their last 14 Premier League away games (D3 L11), having won four in a row on the road before that. It’s their longest run without an away win in the competition since the 2003-04 campaign, when they failed to win any of their 19 (D7 L12).

Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White has scored two goals in his last four Premier League appearances against former side Wolves. Only against Brighton (4) and Manchester United (3) has he scored in more different games in the competition.

Wolves have scored just five away goals in the Premier League this season, their lowest return after 12 away games in their league history. However, none of the last four teams to have five or fewer goals after 12 Premier League away games have been relegated that season (Nottingham Forest 2022-23, Brighton 2017-18, Aston Villa 2014-15, Crystal Palace 2013-14).
