Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 22/02/2026

Nottingham Forest remain unbeaten in three but continue to struggle for attacking consistency, coming off a dull 0–0 draw with Wolverhampton. Given their offensive issues, we predict a 2-0 away win. There are no fresh injuries for the Reds, though the likes of Chris Wood, John Victor, Willy Boly, and Matz Sels remain sidelined. Forest’s home numbers paint a mixed picture: 1.50 PPG, strong defensive stability with 0.25 goals conceded per game, and 75% home clean sheets, yet they also fail to score in 50% of their home matches, signalling a creativity problem. Winger Ndoye pushing for a start adds much-needed pace, but end product remains uncertain.Liverpool come into this in far stronger overall form after a comfortable 3–0 FA Cup win over Brighton. The Resd have no new injuries and boast dominant attacking metrics: 2.50 goals scored per match, 60% win rate, and 1.75 PPG away. Impressively, they keep 75% clean sheets away, conceding just 0.75 per game. Their xG profile—2.09 for, 1.23 against—reinforces their superiority at both ends.
