[Tips]:
Although Nottingham Forest F.C.'s recent results have been poor, their performance in the last round against Manchester City at home demonstrated that the team still have enough passion and motivation to secure points on their own field.

Key players such as Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, and forward Igor Jesus have all maintained good form.

On the other hand, Everton F.C. have seen a noticeable decline in their attacking creativity since winger Iliman Ndiaye departed for the Africa Cup of Nations. Their recent form has also been underwhelming, and their away performances are a cause for concern.

Historically, Everton F.C. have held a clear advantage in H2H encounters, including a 3-0 victory in the first encounter this season.

However, the bookmakers are still backing the home team, so we expect Nottingham Forest F.C. to claim a victory at home this time.

Nottingham Forest F.C. (-0/0.5)
