Read our free football betting tips ahead of Monday’s Premier League clash at the Molineux. Wolves host Nottingham Forest at the Molineux in the Premier League tonight, with the visitors hoping to go level on points with Arsenal as they look to consolidate their position in the table (live on Sky Sports Main Event, 8pm).
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sit third at the start of play, and though they cannot realistically climb any higher today, they can go level with the Gunners on 40 points, while a win would also take them four points above fourth-placed Chelsea. Wolves come into the game on a more positive run of form despite sitting 17th in the table, and they are yet to lose a match under new manager Vitor Pereira, having drawn with Spurs and beaten both Leicester and Manchester United.
But today’s match against one of the league’s in-form sides represents a stern test for the Portuguese, whose side are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference – though they only trail 16th-placed Everton by a point. And unsurprisingly, it’s Forest who are the clear favourites, with betting sites pricing an away win at 5/4 compared to 12/5 for Wolves to take the three points.
Forest have won their last five matches on the bounce since a 3-0 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad, meaning that they are the league’s most in-form team alongside Newcastle United. It’s pretty straightforward to see why Forest are the favourite on different betting apps, and even with Wolves’ new-found form under new boss Vitor Pereira, it is difficult to see anything but an away win tonight.
