Command Analysis
Everton
EnglandCurrent form
Everton extended their unbeaten run to four Premier League games, although three of them ended in draws. However, the team managed to get through a difficult stretch without losing to Arsenal (0:0), Chelsea (0:0) and Manchester City (1:1). Such results are worth a lot, even if they were lucky in some places. In addition, there was a home victory over Wolverhampton with a crushing score of 4:0. In many ways, they have managed to achieve success due to their reliable defense and playing as second fiddle. The attack is not impressive at all - only the outsider Southampton has fewer goals. With 17 points scored, Everton is approaching the start of the 19th round in 15th place in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Injured and unable to help their team today are Irogbounam, Garner and McNeil.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nine of Everton last 11 Premier League games have seen two or fewer goals scored
- At least one team has failed to score in seven of Everton last eight Premier League games
Estimated line-up: Pickford – Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko – Harrison, Mangala, Gueye, Doucouré, Ndiaye – Calvert-Lewin.
Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
Nottingham Forest continue to please their fans, there is no decline in the game. On the contrary, the team, modest by Premier League standards, is increasingly gaining confidence in its own strength. In December, the Foresters had a winning streak of four matches and secured fourth place with a gap of five points from Newcastle. Moreover, Chelsea is ahead by one point, and Arsenal from the second line has broken ahead by two points. In the last round, Nuno Espirito Santo charges were able to "dry up" a powerful attack of Tottenham on their home field (1:0). They still manage to achieve success mostly due to a reliable defense. Nottingham conceded only 19 goals, even the not very impressive indicators in the attack (24 goals) do not prevent the Foresters from regularly gaining points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Danilo and Sangare will miss the game due to injuries. Yates will serve a suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have not lost in the first half in their last four matches
- Eight of the Foresters' last ten Premier League games have seen at least two goals scored
Probable line-up: Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Dominguez, Anderson - Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi - Wood.

5.50Tip and bets
Both teams are approaching the upcoming match on unbeaten streaks. At the same time, Nottingham Forest is performing better overall this season. It will be difficult for the hosts to break through the Foresters' defense today, given their style of play and difficulties in creating chances. At the same time, the visitors are distinguished by their precise implementation, due to which they are capable of taking three points. We think that bookmakers are slightly underestimating Nottingham.
Our prediction is a Nottingham Forest win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.00

It should be noted that Everton have not received more than two yellow cards in 10 of their last 11 matches at home in the Premier League. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting.
