Everton take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 3 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 20th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton are still without points. The Toffees initially had to prepare for difficulties. Suffice it to recall how hard it was, only in the end, to win the struggle for survival in the Premier League for this ambitious club. Yes, and about the level of Lampard as a coach, despite the fact that he completed the spring task, replacing Rafa Benitez, there were questions. But in the summer, Richarlison left, the best player of the Blues, and one of the few who scored, and consistently. What is curious, at the same time, it was mostly not the players of the attack group that were signed (except that McNeil, who moved from Burnley, can be noted here), but the players in the defensive clip: Amadou Onana (more than 30 million for the young defensive midfielder Lille!), Tarkovsky, Coady, Ruben Vignagre. Possibly, a bad start is connected with this: 0-1 with Chelsea, 1-2 with Aston Villa.

Nottingham Forest are memorable not only because they won the European Cup twice in a row - they then managed to reach the level of League 1. They didn’t stay there, but only at the end of last season they managed to win the right to climb to the “elite”. Everyone praised Steve Cooper, but at the same time they understood that he and his team in the regular season of the Championship took only 4th place, with further success in the playoffs. Hence the feverish intensification. Only in recent days Freuler, Emmanuel Dennis from Watford and Sheikh Kouyate have been signed. There is, of course, an embarrassing counterpart in the form of Fulham a couple of years earlier. But, starting with a 0-2 defeat to Newcastle, on Sunday, due to the only goal of Avoniyya (another rookie), they sensationally managed to beat West Ham!
In the last match, Nottingham Forest managed to break a series of 4 defeats in a row with a victory. But this success dates back to 1999 - after that, the Foresters still got relegated to the Championship. Everton are seen as the favorites of the match. But they have not yet impressed, and Nottingham Forest has already won. So let's stop at "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
