Nottingham Forest to Win with Handicap (-1)
This will be a duel between a team that's playing in League Two and the newly-promoted Premier League team. So, it's clear that the guests are the favourites and we expect them to justify this tag.
After all, Nottingham Forest has already collected four points in Premier League from three games, while Grimsby has five points from four matches in League Two. With that in mind, we can see the guests winning this game by at least two goals.
Both Teams to Score – No
Although these two teams haven't met in recent years, which means that we have no h2h data to help us in our next prediction, we don't expect both teams to score in this game.
Both teams have averaged a low number of goals in their respective leagues so far – Grimsby 1.29 goals per game, Nottingham Forest 1.67 goals per game. Also, both teams scored in just 25% of Grimsby matches in League Two and 33% of all Nottingham Forest games in Premier League.
Grimsby vs Nottingham Forest preview: Team news, latest form, and probable lineups
The guests are clear favourites in this game, but let's take a better look at both teams before their upcoming duel:
Grimsby
After the first five rounds in League Two, Grimsby Town has one win, two draws, and one loss. That's far from a great start, although it is pretty much in line with the expectations from this team since this tally puts them in the sixteenth place in the standings, near the middle of the table.
When it comes to team news, there are a few doubtful players due to injuries, like Maher, Orsi, and Essel.
Grimsby predicted lineup:
Crocombe – Efete, Waterfall, Smith, Amos – Wearne, Green, Morris, Holohan, Driscoll-Glennon – Pepple
Nottingham Forest
Many years have gone by, but we are finally watching Nottingham Forest play in the Premier League once again. And the team started the new season back in the top flight with four points from the first three rounds, which is far from a bad start for them. After all, they are currently in the middle of the standings.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest will be without Mousa Niakhite, Omar Richards, and, most likely, Jack Colback.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup:
Hennessey – Kouyate, Cook, McKenna – Biancone, Freuler, Yates, Toffolo – Gibbs-White, Dennis – Surridge
