Preview

Nottingham Forest host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground in the 3rd round of the English Premier League. The match will be special for both manager Nuno Espirito Santo and one of the team’s key players, Morgan Gibbs-White, as both have deep ties to Wolverhampton.

Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have started the season with confidence, picking up four points from their opening two games. In the final round, Nottingham Forest won 1-0 away to Southampton, putting in one of their best performances since returning to the Premier League. Forest had 23 shots on target, their best away tally for two years. Morgan Gibbs-White has been in excellent form to start the season, creating six scoring chances for his team-mates.

Long-serving Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo remains unbeaten against his former side and will be hoping to continue that run.

Wolves
Wolves are trying to rebuild their attacking game for the second season running under Gary O'Neill. The team showed a bright and aggressive game in the first half against Chelsea, which allowed them to score two goals. However, the Londoners took advantage of every mistake Wolves made in the second half, inflicting a painful 2-6 defeat. The defeat exposed Wolves' main problem - a weak defence, especially in the centre, where the defending pair of Yerson Mosquera and Toti were nervous and disorganised.

The coaching staff of "Wolverhampton" is forced to solve problems in defense, which can become critical in the match against "Nottingham Forest".

Prediction
Both teams will approach the match with a strong desire to correct mistakes and gain points. "Nottingham Forest" looks more confident and balanced at the start of the season, especially playing at home. "Wolverhampton" faced serious problems in defense, which can be a decisive factor in this match. Prediction: Nottingham Forest win with a minimal advantage.
