Nottingham Forest take on the visitors Everton in the round 26 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 5th at City Ground (Nottingham)
Nottingham Forest in terms of results is a very unpredictable team. Not long ago, the "Forest" took points from the reigning champion of the country (a draw with Man City, 1-1). But before and after that meeting, they suffered two dry defeats: from Fulham and West Ham. What remains unchanged for Nottingham is the small number of goals scored by this team. In terms of attacking performance, Steve Cooper's charges are one of the worst teams in the league. And in the last ten rounds of the EPL, the "Forest" scored more than two goals in only one match. At home, Nottingham also does not delight fans with an abundance of goals. But at the same time, they are quite capable of playing reliably in defense on their home field.

In the previous round of the EPL, Everton predictably lost to Arsenal (0-4) and returned to the relegation zone. Before that, the "Toffees" even lost to Aston Villa with the score 0-2 at home, also failing to score. Even in the winning home match against Leeds, they were only able to score one goal. And if Nottingham are one of the worst teams in the league in terms of performance, then Everton is the lowest-scoring team in the championship this season. In the last five away matches, the "Toffees" only upset their opponents once. So we end up with a head-to-head meeting of two teams that score few goals. Therefore, it is logical to expect a low-scoring match and bet on Under 2.5.
It is difficult to say what outcome to expect from a head-to-head meeting of two direct competitors in the fight for survival. Given that Nottingham is still a home team and the "Toffees" do not impress in away matches, one could probably bet on 1X. But we will still play Under 2.5, since we do not expect many goals from this match. Neither the hosts nor the visitors impress with their attack. In the last five rounds of the EPL, Nottingham Forest scored only three times, and Everton only twice. In the first round of this season, the "Forest" and the "Toffees" drew 1-1. We think there will be no more than two accurate shots in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
