Nottingham Forest: form and statistics

The Foresters forced the fight on the Premier League grandees last season, lost a little at the end of the championship, but eventually made it to the Europa League – seventh place in the standings. In 38 matches, Nottingham has 19 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses with a goal difference of 58:46.

In the previous friendly match, Forest unexpectedly lost to Birmingham 0:1. Before that, Nuno Espirito Santo's team played 0:0 three times – against Monaco, Chesterfield and Estoril, and also lost 1:3 to Fulham.

Fiorentina: form and statistics

The Violets performed well in European competitions again last season, reaching the semi-finals of the Conference League, where they lost to Betis. In the Italian championship, Fiorentina also performed at its own level – sixth place and another entry into the LC. Despite this, Raffaele Palladino, who worked at the club for one season, was dismissed, and Stefano Pioli became the new head coach of the Florentines.

Fiorentina played three friendly matches. First, the Violets beat Grosseto (3:0) and Carrarese (2:0), and then lost to the English Leicester (0:2).

Nottingham Forest vs Fiorentina match prediction 5 August 2025

Nottingham Forest achieved success last season due to high-quality defensive play. In the offseason, the team confirms the trend by not conceding in three out of five matches. Accordingly, we believe that the coefficient for TU is overestimated here and we choose the bet on the total under on goals scored. And in terms of the outcome, we suggest playing the 1X. Fiorentina showed in the last match against Leicester that they are still far from being in the best shape.

Our main prediction: is Total Under 2.5 for a coefficient of 2.35 in the 1xbet bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: is 1X for a coefficient 1.50 in the bet365 bookmaker.
