Wolves vs Nottingham Forest Tips
- Chris Wood Over 0.5 Headed Shots on Target: 7/4 @ Sky Bet
- Head-to-Head – Semedo vs Wood – Wood Most Shots on Target, Tied Assists, Semedo Most Fouls & Semedo Most Fouls Won: 9/1 @ Sky Bet
Tip 1
Wood has the most headed goals in the division so far this term, tied on four with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
He also has the most goals (11), shots (34) – 11 of which have been recorded by his head – and shots on target (20) of any player taking to the field at Molineux given Matheus Cunha’s absence.
The home side have been caught out 10 times from set-pieces this season, conceding six of these goals on home soil.
The 33 year old’s strengths lie in the air, and he will have the jump on both of Wolves’ central defenders Craig Dawson and Hugo Bueno on Monday.
Tip 2
Wood has had 20 shots on target compared to Semedo’s three. This is, of course, expected, with the former a striker and the latter a defender. However, the Wolves man hasn’t found the target in 10 appearances, while Wood has produced six in his last seven.
Semedo has produced three assists to Wood’s one, but neither is expected to contribute in this department here, so it makes sense to back a tie.
22 fouls from Semedo to Wood’s 11 strengthens the foundation that the Wolves defender should be the busier of the two when it comes to potentially committing a foul or multiple.
The Portuguese full-back also just edges Wood in this category, winning 13 fouls to the Forest man’s 11. That being said, Semedo has won at least one in each of his last eight, while Wood’s are far more sporadic, winning just half of this tally across the same sample.
Wolves Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
New boss Vitor Pereira will be aiming to maintain his unbeaten start to life at Molineux, having already amassed seven points from his opening three games, most recently holding Tottenham to a 2-2 draw in North London.
The hosts are confirmed to be without Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Medina, Toti Gomes and Pablo Sarabia, who are all absent through injury. Matheus Cunha will also miss out due to a suspension.
Wolves Predicted XI: Johnstone; Doherty, Bueno, Dawson, Semedo; Bellegarde, Lemina, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Guedes; Strand-Larsen.
Nottingham Forest Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Forest’s incredible journey continues to impress and delight after putting together their fifth straight win by beating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park last weekend.
The visitors have just two unavailable players, with both Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare ruled out due to ankle and thigh injuries respectively.
Nottingham Forest Predicted XI: Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.
