Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton preview & prediction

Match preview 

Nottingham Forest welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the City Ground on Wednesday in an attempt to avoid a second domestic cup exit in a week.

Last time out, Steve Cooper’s side were defeated 4-1 by Blackpool in the FA Cup third round, while the visitors forced a replay against Liverpool after a 2-2 draw.

Cooper watched a second-string Nottingham Forest side be ripped apart at will by Blackpool, who served the top-flight strugglers a slice of humble pie in the FA Cup after resting the majority of his first-team stars in their fight for Premier League survival.

While a deep run in the FA Cup may have provided some respite from a difficult Premier League season, Forest are on the verge of reaching the EFL Cup semi-finals for the first time since the 1991-92 season, when they lost to Manchester United in the final.

It didn’t take long for newly-appointed Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui to taste VAR wrath in England, as the ex-Sevilla coach was left to rue what could have been in a four-goal FA Cup stalemate with Liverpool at Anfield.

Wolves have not reached the EFL Cup quarter-finals in 27 years, losing to West Midlands rivals Aston Villa in 1996, and have not reached the final four since winning the title for the second time in 1980.
