Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Form and Head to Head
The home side comes into this fixture on the back of a 3-1 away defeat to Leeds in their most recent Premier League outing. However, their last six league matches have seen mixed results, with a respectable overall form ranking of 10th in the division over that period. Their last home league match ended in a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, following a dominant 4-0 Europa League victory over Ferencvaros at the City Ground. Despite struggling for consistency, Forest have drawn their last four home matches against Wolves in all competitions, suggesting a stubbornness on their own turf.
Wolves' recent form paints a bleaker picture. The visitors suffered a 3-1 away loss to Chelsea in their last Premier League game, marking their third consecutive league defeat. Their overall form in the last six matches sees them ranked 17th, reflecting a significant dip. The Molineux outfit has endured a particularly tough run, failing to win 28 of their last 29 Premier League matches.
Furthermore, Wolves have been losing at both half-time and full-time in their last three Premier League matches, and have conceded at least two goals in each of those games. They remain winless on the road all season, collecting just three points from a possible 36 available.
The most recent encounter between these two teams saw Nottingham Forest secure a narrow 1-0 victory at Wolves in December 2025. This result contributes to a head-to-head record over the last six meetings that heavily favours the home side, with Forest winning two and drawing four.
Wolves have failed to secure a victory against Forest in any of their last six Premier League clashes. Interestingly, despite Forest's recent dominance in this fixture, Wolves boast an impressive record of being undefeated in their last nine away matches against Nottingham Forest in all competitions, a testament to their resilience even when not winning outright.

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Team News
Nottingham Forest will be without a few key players for this pivotal match. Wood, Victor, and Savona are all sidelined due to injury. There are also doubts surrounding the availability of goalkeeper Sels and defender Murillo, who missed out with a calf problem. However, there's positive news with N. Williams returning from a one-game ban and expected to slot straight back into the team. Additionally, Lucca is pushing for a full debut after impressing with a goal off the bench in the last game.
For Wolves, the injury list is thankfully shorter, with T. Gomes being their only definite absentee due to a thigh injury. While Andre missed the previous game against Chelsea, he is expected to return from a minor issue and could feature.

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves Match Prediction
Nottingham Forest host Wolves in a clash between a team fighting to escape the bottom three and a side struggling at the foot of the table. Forest are strongest when attacking down the wings and protecting a lead, and they take plenty of shots, often from long range, though their finishing remains inconsistent, which could keep the score low.
Wolves struggle defensively against wide attacks and long shots, areas where Forest excel, and their poor possession and tendency for individual errors make matters worse. Having trailed at both half-time and full-time in their last three league games while conceding at least two goals each time, Wolves’ defence is exposed. Forest’s need for points, combined with Wolves’ poor away form, suggests the home side are likely to edge a narrow 1-0 win, taking advantage of their opponent’s defensive weaknesses.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Wolves
