Nottingham take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 1st at City Ground (Nottingham).
In Nottingham Forest's piggy bank there are only 26 points at the moment, which is just two more than the teams in the relegation zone. The "Foresters" can score at home, but the team is not known for its reliable defense. The bet on Over 1.5 goals has played in six consecutive Premier League games involving Nottingham Forest, and in eight of the last ten. In the team's last six home matches of the championship, Over 1.5 goals was only not hit once when the hosts beat Leeds 1-0. In the other five matches, two or more goals were scored: 1-1 against Chelsea, 2-0 against Leicester, 1-1 against Manchester City, 2-2 against Everton, and 1-2 against Newcastle. I believe that Steve Cooper's men are capable of hitting Over 1.5 goals on their own in the upcoming match. However, they can certainly concede to the hosts.

Wolverhampton Wanderers players are in a similar situation to their opponents. "Wolves" are only one point ahead of "Foresters" in the table. In their last five games, the team has only kept a clean sheet once, but they have also failed to score in only one game. In four of them, Over 1.5 goals were comfortably hit. This bet has played in 19 of the 28 Premier League matches involving Wolves. Let's also take a look at the results of the team's last five championship matches away from home: losses to Manchester City 0-3, Liverpool 0-2, and Newcastle 1-2, a draw 1-1 with Fulham, and a 2-1 victory over Southampton. As you can see, Over 1.5 goals were hit in all five games. In the previous round, Julen Lopetegui's men had a real shootout with Leeds at home (2-4).
So what do we have in the conclusion? Two teams are playing, both of which are fighting to stay in the Premier League, and a draw may not suit either of them. Both teams need to win against a direct competitor in the fight for survival. Neither team has a reliable defense: hosts have conceded 49 goals in 27 rounds, while guests have conceded 41 times in 28 games. Recently, both WWX and Nottingham Forest have been consistently scoring in the Premier League. In their last five rounds, "Wolves" and "Foresters" only left the field once without upsetting their opponents. I think everything suggests that Over 1.5 goals will be hit in this match. This bet has brought a profit in four of the last five head-to-head meetings. I believe that at least two goals will be scored at the stadium.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
