Nottingham Forest – Everton: a high‑stakes, symbolic clash 
Nottingham Forest host Everton on Tuesday night at the City Ground. It’s personal for Sean Dyche — facing his old club while they scrap to survive. Both teams arrive with different momentum and clear targets.
Nottingham Forest: must respond to pull away from the drop zone 
Despite an expected defeat to Manchester City last weekend, Forest shouldn’t throw everything away. City were in top form, but the loss fits into a rough patch for the Garibaldis, who now sit dangerously close to trouble.
Inconsistency is Forest’s main problem, especially up front. They go quiet in front of goal, can’t turn possession into clear chances, and get punished for it.
Home form is patchy too. The City Ground hasn’t always been a safe haven this season, and Forest will need their crowd to help rebuild collective steel and grab vital points.
Everton: solid at the back but blunt up front 
Everton head to Nottingham with defensive stability, but a serious lack of attacking threat. The Toffees have gone several league games without scoring — worrying, even if they can shut up shop.
There’s a clear absence of creative profiles who can change a game, and AFCON absences don’t help David Moyes’ options. Still, Everton remain competitive thanks to a tidy defensive setup.
On the road their recent form is fairly encouraging. The Toffees know how to travel and have often taken points away from Goodison Park, so they go into this one with some confidence.
Probable lineups
Nottingham Forest: Victor, Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Dominguez, Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus
Everton: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Garner, Dibling, Alcaraz, Grealish, Beto
Key takeaways
- Nottingham Forest are battling to stay clear of the drop.
- Everton haven’t scored in their recent league games.
- The Toffees remain solid defensively.
- The City Ground could be decisive.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no bet without risk. Even when something looks “obvious”, it isn’t. And yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, you’re responsible. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions don’t form a contract. They have no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to make claims if a bet loses.
Information can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But line-ups (like Everton’s) change, a player gets injured, weather turns… and the analysis can become outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, simply check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
