There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

5 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Nottingham Forest have to build on here at The City Ground in the Premier League.

No payout for Nottingham Forest in their previous match, an away game at West Ham United that ended in defeat 0-4. Nottingham were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Everton form and stats

Everton have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-4-7 (12 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Everton's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Everton aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 206 league minutes without a goal. Coleman was the last player to find the net.

Everton lost away at Arsenal (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Arsenal was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Midfielder McNeil was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.64. McNeil hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

A 0-2 loss hosting Aston Villa before that.

Stats flash: 12 of the last 16 league games involving this club have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).

Everton are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed {6 goals} from 12 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Everton struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The newest recorded meeting involving both these teams is the Everton - Nottingham Forest 1-1 played earlier this season.
