Nottingham vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-11 14:00.
[p]Nottingham Forest suffered a first defeat in seven games across all competitions when losing 2-1 to Aston Villa last weekend, reducing their margin for error in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification. The Tricky Trees will be keen to avoid any further slip-ups, as despite confirmation that the top five Premier League finishers will grace Europe’s top table next season, there’s a chasing pack ready to pounce on mistakes.[/p]
[p]Forest should be confident of bouncing back against Everton, mostly due to their stunning unbeaten record in all 14 games against sides starting this round in the bottom half of the table (W13, D1). A run of four successive league clean sheets at the City Ground also helps mark Nuno EspĂrito Santo’s men out as favourites, with a first set of five in a row since 1980 under Brian Clough at stake as they chase a first H2H double since 1994/95.[/p]
[p]It looks a tall order for Everton to run out with the three points here, although wins in three of their last four away league games against Forest (D1) – as many as they managed in their prior 29 visits to the City Ground (D6, L20) – should certainly boost confidence in the travelling camp. [/p]
[p]Sitting 15 points above the relegation zone and 17 shy of the top six, Everton are playing for pride alone and have been for some time. That might go some way to explaining their run of six draws from their last eight Premier League matches (W1, L1), and another stalemate here would be their 15th and most in a single season since 2012/13. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Nottingham Forest’s Jota Silva could be pushing for a start after scoring from the bench in three of his last four Premier League appearances, including against Villa last week. Iliman Ndiaye scored on his first start since returning from injury against Arsenal – the attacker has now netted four goals in his last five Premier League starts for Everton.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Under David Moyes, Everton have won just one of 36 league matches against sides starting the day in the top three (D13, L22). [/p]
