Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest betting tips and summary
Liverpool to win – should have more quality
Over 2.5 goals – good trend in H2H + recently
Dominik Szoboszlai to have over 0.5 shots on target – outstanding recent trend
Defending champions Liverpool will resume their English Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon when they host Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
A dismal run of six losses from seven games – across all competitions – showed Liverpool’s vulnerability, as they forfeited their place at the top of the EPL table, following a flawless start in their opening five matches.
Manager Arne Slot’s side stopped the rot with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, the Reds then followed up with a victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
However, they fell victim to a 3-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium in their last EPL game, which saw many write them off for the title.
The Reds are struggling for consistency, but will be confident in starting the winter period with a win when they take on a side who have won just one of their last 10 EPL matches and have picked up only two points on the road this season.
New boss Sean Dyche is Forest’s third manager this season and secured their first EPL win since the opening day of the season, when his side defeated Leeds 3-1.
Defeat away to Bournemouth is their only loss from their last four games, which feature a draw at home to Manchester United, a Europa League draw away to Strum Graz and a win over FC Porto. Is Dyche turning the ship around at the City Ground?
What are the best bets for Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest?
Liverpool to win
Despite apparent inconsistency, the defending champions will line up to face a Forest side who have struggled this season.
The hosts should have superior quality, as they look to make a positive start after the international break.
Over 2.5 goals
Both sides have shown defensive vulnerabilities so far this campaign, whilst they both boast attacking talent in abundance – though Liverpool more so.
Two of the last five head-to-head matches have seen over 2.5 goals land, while it also happened in both of these two sides’ respective matches before the break.
Dominik Szoboszlai to have over 0.5 shots on target
The Hungary international has recorded nine shots on target in his last five Liverpool appearances.
