Forest-Wolves Clash: Key Stats and Factors Ahead of Premier League Showdown

Before Nottingham Forest and Wolves face off in the Premier League this weekend, here are some key facts and figures to keep in mind. Nottingham Forest has not had much success against Wolves in recent years, losing four of their last five league games against them with just one win. In the Premier League, they have yet to defeat Wolves, with two draws and one loss.

On the other hand, Wolves have a strong record against Nottingham Forest when playing away from home. They are currently unbeaten in their last five league matches at the City Ground, having won three and drawn twice since their last loss in March 2013.

Nottingham Forest has struggled to find their footing in the Premier League this year, with seven losses out of 24 games so far. They have earned only nine points this season, putting them at the bottom of the table alongside Burnley and Sheffield United.

Wolves have also had difficulties keeping clean sheets on the road, only managing two shutouts in their last 32 away matches. However, both of those clean sheets came this season in wins against Everton and a draw against Brighton.

Chris Wood has been a standout player for Nottingham Forest this season, scoring 12 goals in the Premier League so far. He has only scored more goals in a single campaign back in 2019-20 with Burnley. He has particularly excelled against Wolves, netting six goals including a hat-trick back in April 2021.

Anthony Elanga and Chris Wood have formed an effective partnership for Forest this year, scoring six goals together which is second most goal combination for a Forest pair in a single Premier League campaign behind only Bryan Roy and Stan Collymore from 1994-95
