This weekend, Nottingham Forest will take on Sean Dyche's Everton in a critical clash at Goodison Park. Nottingham Forest are currently 17th in the Premier League standings and haven't been at their best over the past year. They played a 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, which suggests they need to up their game this weekend.

Everton, however, are one spot above at 16th in the league table. They have struggled this season, with a disheartening 6-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in their last match. The Toffees will be looking to recover when they face Forest this weekend.

Historically, Everton have a solid record against Nottingham Forest, having won 56 of the 131 matches played between the two teams, Nottingham Forest have won 47. Everton won the reverse fixture last year, and a win this weekend would mark their first league double over Nottingham since the 1996-97 season.

Nonetheless, Forest has only won one of their last eight Premier League matches against Everton, and that sole victory came at Goodison Park in 1999. On the other hand, Everton haven't won any of their last 22 home matches when they have conceded at least one goal in the Premier League.

Despite Nottingham's struggle, they managed to pick up six points from their last five games in 2024 Premier League. Players such as Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White will play a crucial role this weekend for Nottingham Forest.

Everton's form this season has been worrisome, especially after the poor performance against Chelsea last week. Both teams have issues they need to address and may potentially end in a draw this weekend.

Match Prediction:
Everton 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Result: Draw
Over 2.5 goals
