SWANSEA v NOTTINGHAM FOREST 17.02.21
Nottingham Forest are a team with many talented players however they simply have not played well enough this season. At this stage of the campaign you would expect them to be at least top 10.
We now stand a chance of going top of the league with our games in hand but that puts a lot of pressure on ourselves to perform well every week.
Obviously the last time we faced Forest, we beat them 5-1 but without the controversial penalty call to help us go 3-1 up, it could have a different game. Swansea must respect Forest however these are the games where we drop silly points.
If we score first I reckon we’ll win otherwise we may crumble under the pressure of going top. I doubt that we’ll make it easy for ourselves so I predict that the final score will be Swansea 3-2 Nottingham Forest.
The swans face Forest tonight at the Liberty Stadium , Their first league game since the statement victory over Norwich. The two teams last faced around 3 weeks ago and forest were blown out of the water by an on form Swansea team , the swans ran out 5-1 victors thanks to goals from grimes , Cullen and cooper. But you’d have to go back to November 29th 2020 for the last league meeting between the sides , a first half Connor Roberts header was enough for the swans to claim all 3 points at the city ground. The swans currently sit 3rd , 4 points behind Brentford and 5 behind Norwich , but it’s not that simple. The swans have 2 games in hand over the top 2 meaning that victories in both would see the swans top the table. On the other side of the tie forest currently sit 16th in the table 5 points clear of the drop zone but on 33 points. Forest claimed a point against a Bournemouth team under the care of Johnathan Woodgate.
The swans didn’t play on Saturday and go into this with a week of rest after the FA cup loss to Manchester City , but they did take down Norwich in Their last league game by 2 goals to 0 .
My verdict:
The swans don’t concede many , that’s clear if you look at the clean sheet stats , but they don’t score many having only scored 3 in the league once but I think the swans will once again have too much for forest to handle.
Score:
4-0 Swansea
We expect a tough game vs a very good Swansea team. They sit in 3rd and playing class as we sit in 16th in a very good run of form. Our key player is krovinovic and there's is Jamal Lowe a very quick winger/striker who knows where the net is.
My prediction is Nottingham forest 2-0 Swansea
