Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Prediction - 22nd November 2025

This Premier League clash at Anfield pits two sides in contrasting form but with surprisingly similar recent records. Liverpool, despite sitting 8th in the table, have been woeful lately with just 3 wins from their last 10 matches. Their home form has been particularly concerning, averaging only 1.00 goals per game at home despite a 50% win rate in their last four at Anfield. Nottingham Forest find themselves in the relegation zone (19th) but have shown signs of improvement recently. However, their away form remains abysmal with zero wins from their last four road trips and a paltry 0.50 goals per game average when traveling. Forest did manage a credible 2-2 draw against Manchester United and a 3-1 win over Leeds in their recent outings. The head-to-head record favors Liverpool historically (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses), with Liverpool winning 66.67% of home meetings against Forest. However, the last encounter ended 1-1, suggesting Forest can frustrate the Reds. Statistically, both teams have identical points per game (0.90) over their last 10 matches. Liverpool scores slightly more (1.30 vs 1.10) but also concedes more (1.70 vs 1.60). Both sides have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 10 games (20% each), indicating defensive vulnerabilities across the board. The key factor here is the attacking output. Liverpool's home attack has been toothless with just 1.00 goals per game, while Forest's away attack is virtually non-existent at 0.50 goals per game. With both teams struggling to find the net consistently and the goal expectancy pointing to just 2.13 total goals, this has all the makings of a low-scoring affair. Key Points: • Liverpool have lost 7 of their last 10 matches despite being at home • Forest have failed to win any of their last 4 away games • Liverpool score only 1.00 goals per game at home • Forest score just 0.50 goals per game away from home • Both teams have kept only 2 clean sheets in last 10 games • Goal expectancy suggests only 2.13 total goals in this match Given the poor attacking form of both sides, particularly Forest's away struggles and Liverpool's home scoring issues, the value lies with goals being at a premium.
