Nottingham Forest take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the quarterfinal match of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 11th at City Ground (Nottingham).
Nottingham Forest are trying to fight for a foothold in the top flight. The Foresters are in their 1st season in the Premier League this century. Of course, despite the fact that it was possible to rise from the Championship only through play-offs, it was objectively necessary to strengthen the roster - but, having carried away, the management actually assembled a new one, having signed 20+ newcomers. Not surprisingly, the unplayed team rarely scored points. There were hopes that it would be possible to add in the winter, after a long pause. And there were good fights, and, in addition to a draw with Chelsea, and, most importantly, a victory over a direct competitor, Southampton, it was just 4-1 at Blackburn in the last round of the League Cup. On the other hand, in another such tournament, the FA Cup, there was an unopposed defeat to the modest Blackpool.

Wolverhampton bid for Lopetegui in hopes of survival in the Premier League. After a good draw in 2021/2022, a new fall began, even deeper. And the dismissal of Lage did not help - the inexperienced Steve Davis showed nothing. And only in November it turned out to persuade Lopetegui to move from Spain. Then he managed to win just in the framework of the League Cup, against Leeds. But, most importantly, already in the winter it turned out to win to take the maximum on the field of a direct competitor, Everton. Yes, and with Manchester United Wolves fought with dignity, but still missed the only goal after Rashford’s shot on the 76th minute. After that there was a late goal from Aston Villa that made a draw. And with Liverpool, in the cup, they finished 2-2, however, there Lopetegui's wards were not credited with a completely legitimate goal.
Wolves beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 in 2021 in a cup clash. And already this season, in the Premier League, 1 more victory was taken, due to the only goal of Ruben Neves. However, the foresters had a chance to level the score, but did not convert the penalty. Both clubs have added in the winter, and the semi-final is at stake. We recommend betting on total over 2.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
