Having won seven consecutive home league games against Nottingham Forest between 1997 and 2008, Wolves have now won just two of their last eight against them (D2 L4). They lost 3-0 in this exact fixture last season.

Four of the six Premier League meetings between Wolves and Nottingham Forest have been drawn, with each side winning once each. Forest’s victory came in this exact fixture in January last season (3-0).

Wolves have won just one of their last 17 evening kick offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League (D4 L12), beating West Ham United 1-0 in April.

Wolves are the only side without a home Premier League win this season, picking up just one point so far (D1 L5). Only three sides have won one point or fewer in their first seven home Premier League games of a season – Birmingham in 2005-06 (1), Sheffield United in 2020-21 (1) and Burnley in 2023-24 (0).

Nottingham Forest are looking to win consecutive away Premier League games for the first time since December/January last season (four in a row). Indeed, Forest have won their last five games (home and away) in the month of December.

Wolves are winless in their last eight home Premier League matches (D2 L6) since winning three in a row in April. They last had a longer winless home run in the top-flight between December 2011 and August 2018 (14 games).

Nottingham Forest lost 3-0 to West Ham in August, who started the day bottom of the table. The last time a team lost two games against sides starting the day 20th in a season was in 2022-23, when both Everton (vs Wolves and Southampton) and Liverpool (vs Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth) did so.

Wolves have a minus 10 goal difference at Molineux in the Premier League this season (GF 6, GA16), despite only facing three more shots than they’ve attempted (66 for, 69 against). Their opponents have a 23% shot conversion at Molineux this season, although Sam Johnstone – who’s played the last three home games – has a far higher home save ratio (65%) than José Sá (17%), who played in the first three.

Wolves manager Rob Edwards took four points from Sean Dyche’s Everton side in the 2023-24 season when he was Luton manager (W1 D1) – Dyche was one of only two managers that Edwards avoided defeat against in both games that campaign, along with Eddie Howe at Newcastle.

Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White netted their third in a 3-0 win at Anfield and could score in consecutive away Premier League appearances for a second time – he did so in December/January last season, scoring against current manager Sean Dyche’s Everton side and then his former club Wolves.
