Nottingham Forest v Liverpool Betting Tips [20 March 2022]

Liverpool are in the chase for a quadruple and their next stop is at the City Ground in Nottinghamshire where they face Championship side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarters. Hosts Nottingham hold on the giant killing tag going into this game after eliminating Arsenal, Leicester City and Huddersfield Town in the previous rounds. They go into this game unbeaten in nine matches, winning six and keeping five clean sheets in the run. Nottingham Forest also have a good scoring run, failing in just one of their last 14, and going to this game they’ve netted two or more goals in four of the last five. The home team is also enjoying a good run at the City Ground. In the last nine home matches they are unbeaten and have eight wins; the only time they failed to win in the last nine home matches was in the 2-2 draw with Stoke City. Nottingham Forest have scored two or more goals in each of their last eight matches at home and kept four clean sheets.

Liverpool are coming from a 2-0 win over Arsenal; it wasn’t their best performance but they still managed to squeeze past a hard fighting Arsenal. They will hope for a more fluid performance and looking at their recent performances, and the quality of opposition they’ve faced, they will be favourites here. In three of their last four matches they have clean sheets and have lost just once in the last 18 matches - against Inter Milan. Liverpool have scored twice in the last three matches and in their last 10 they’ve only failed to score twice. This season, Liverpool have already clinched the League Cup and are in the chase for the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League titles. Their away run is also great, the Reds going into this game unbeaten in eight away matches and having won six out of the eight. In their last five away matches, Liverpool have straight clean sheets. This is the first time these two sides get to face off since Nottingham were last in the Premier League, in 1999.

Nottingham Forest have earned the giant killers’ tag after eliminating much stronger sides in this competition in the last three rounds. Here though, they will have it tougher. Liverpool are also enjoying a good run and we expect a great attacking show, looking at both sides’ scoring returns. Three times in the last four of Nottingham’s matches, both sides have scored. The hosts have been great in attack, and we can back them to score here. We also expect Liverpool to score, and thus both teams scoring looks promising.
