Nottingham Forest, currently 17th in the Premier League with 18 points, face a crucial match against Everton. They are only five points clear of the relegation zone, placing immense pressure on them to secure points, especially at home. However, Nottingham Forest's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two wins in their last six league matches. Their offensive struggles are evident, as they have the second-fewest goals scored in the league. Their home performances have also been shaky, with only three wins in nine home games this season. Everton, on the other hand, has not won in their last three matches, causing them to slip to 12th place. While they are relatively safe from relegation, they are experiencing a dip in form. Their attack has faltered, failing to score in their last three league games. In their last five Premier League meetings, Nottingham Forest has only won once, with Everton winning the other four. Their recent encounter this month saw Everton triumph 3-0 at home. Although the data slightly favours Nottingham Forest for this match played at their home, it is a slight advantage. Considering Everton's defensive stability and Nottingham Forest's injury concerns, scoring against Everton will be challenging for the home side. Overall, Everton is predicted to avoid defeat in this match.
