Liverpooli ja Nottingham Foresti mängu ennustus: kas Iraola suudab võita oma esimese kodumängu?

Liverpool host Nottingham Forest at Anfield after two very different results on opening weekend. Liverpool were behind for much of the game at Newcastle and only managed a 2-2 draw thanks to a lucky penalty, which Szoboszlai converted in the last minute of stoppage time.

Forest lost 0-1 at home to newly promoted Leeds, with a late Anton Stach goal deciding the match. Andoni Iraola now takes charge of his first home game as Liverpool boss, but a long injury list makes things harder.

⚽ Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Both Teams to Score @1.74

Liverpool got away with one against Newcastle, and Florian Wirtz, much like during his first season at Liverpool, struggled badly. Alexis Mac Allister could come in for Wirtz after that poor performance.

The squad is missing several key and rotation players. Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Jayden Danns and Joe Gomez are all out, while Curtis Jones is a doubt with a groin injury. Cody Gakpo scored against Newcastle and was the only starting attacker who really performed well.

Forest’s injury list is much shorter. Oliver Glasner is missing only Nicolo Savona and Ryan Yates, so James McAtee, Olufisayo Aina and Murillo should all start.

Forest are going for a third straight win at Anfield after taking their last two visits there 1-0 and 3-0. Nuno Espirito Santo led Forest to that 1-0 win at Anfield in 2024, while Sean Dyche was in charge for last season’s 3-0 win.

Igor Jesus scored 16 goals in all competitions last season and remains a real threat up front. Virgil van Dijk and likely partner Jeremy Jacquet will need to stay sharp to keep him quiet.

Neco Williams and Ola Aina like to push forward from wing back, which could open space behind them. Liverpool full backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong already took criticism after their display against Newcastle.

Oliver Glasner has his own strong record against Liverpool, separate from those two Forest wins under different managers. While at Crystal Palace, he won twice and drew once in four visits to Anfield, including a 3-0 win in the Carabao Cup last season, and also beat Liverpool in the Community Shield.

That combination, a ground where Forest already win regularly plus a manager who has beaten Liverpool repeatedly, makes this far from a routine home game. Forest have shown different managers can still find a way to hurt Liverpool here.

Alexander Isak wants to bounce back after a quiet return to Newcastle, this time with Anfield fully behind him. He faces a tough test against Murillo, a defender who has handled Liverpool well in recent meetings.

Gakpo showed he can carry the attack alone if needed, and he will look to build on his goal from the last match. Mac Allister could come in for Wirtz in the starting lineup.

Liverpool’s early season form shows a team that thrives on individual quality and quick counters, but struggles to break teams down through sustained possession. At the back, they still look shaky. That combination points toward goals at both ends rather than a quiet game.

Forest have won their last two Anfield visits under two different managers. Igor Jesus gives them a proven goal threat even away from home, and Glasner has already beaten Liverpool during his time at Crystal Palace.

Liverpooli defense looked vulnerable last season, and early signs this season suggest the issue hasn’t gone away, shown by conceding twice against Newcastle. With key defenders missing, Jacquet still getting used to his new side, and Kerkez and Frimpong leaving gaps behind them, Forest should find a goal without too much trouble.

Liverpool still have enough quality up front to score themselves, with Isak, Gakpo and Szoboszlai all talented enough to make their mark at home. Both teams to score means both sides find the net at some point in the match, a bet that suits two teams who tend to trade goals rather than keep clean sheets.
