Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool: Will the Forest be able to win?

Nottingham beat reigning FA Cup winners Arsenal and Leicester in their first two rounds. The next round is against one of the strongest teams in the world, Liverpool. Will we see a third top game?

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham has performed miracles comparable to those of Middlesbrough. First the Foresters sensationally beat Arsenal (1:0), then Leicester (4:1). In the round of 16, Nottingham narrowly defeated their direct rivals for next season's EPL title (2:1).

As for the fight for a place in the EPL, it is very difficult for the Foresters. They sit ninth in the standings, but are five points behind the top-four with three games to spare, and 11 points clear of second place with no games to spare. However, Nottingham has a seven-match winning streak (four wins and three draws).

Liverpool

Liverpool has a winning streak of nine games in the EPL. The Reds beat Arsenal 2:0. Thanks to this strong run, the Reds are one point clear of relegation leader Manchester City. As for the FA Cup, they beat Shrewsbury Town (4:1), Cardiff City (3:1) and Norwich City (2:1). Also, it is likely that we will see a fighting line-up from Jurgen Klopp before we go into the break for the national team games.

Expert Betting Tips

We believe that underestimating their opponents could play a cruel trick on Liverpool, and they are bound to concede a goal. We also think that Nottingham will put up a good fight, even on the opposite side of the pitch, and not serve as many corners as the visitors. Finally, we believe that Diogo Jota will score for the Reds.
