Nottingham Forest vs NS Wolves

Survival Instincts Ignite at the City Ground

Skip It Futmetrix Score: 27/100. This is the definitive relegation six-pointer, pitting a Forest side seeking breathing room against a Wolves squad rooted to the foot of the table.

The Setup

On February 11, 2026, the Nottingham Forest faithful will pack the City Ground for a match where the Stakes could not be higher. Sitting in 17th, Forest have shown a resilient Form lately (DWDWL), providing a cushion that Wolves can only dream of. The visitors arrive in 20th place, having managed just a single victory all season. While the Balance of the squad depth favors the hosts, their modest 25% home win rate suggests that nerves often trump talent in these high-pressure scenarios. For Wolves, this is a final stand; a defeat here would leave them adrift and gasping for air in the survival race.

Key Battle

This match will be decided by the war of attrition in the central thirds. Forest will look to use their superior technical Stars to dominate possession and pull a disciplined but exhausted Wolves backline out of position. Without a standout individual duel to focus on, the tactical burden falls on the defensive units to maintain concentration against a direct Forest attack that thrives on second balls and set-piece chaos.

Our Prediction

Forest enter as clear favorites with a 56.7% win probability. We expect the home side to settle the nerves early, utilizing the creative spark of Morgan Gibbs-White to unlock a stubborn Wolves low block. While José Sá has been busy between the posts for the visitors, the sheer volume of Forest chances should eventually tell. A 2-0 home victory feels likely, cementing Forest’s safety while plunging Wolves further into the abyss.
