Utrecht vs Nottingham Forest Preview and Team News
Utrecht Team News
Utrecht come here on the back of just one win in their last five outings across all competitions. They were, most recently, held to a 1-1 draw by FC Twente.
Central midfielder Alonzo Engwanda’s performance had a lot of analysts fuming. He had the fewest touches (33) of any outfield player to play 90 minutes. Although he posted an impressive passing accuracy of 95%, the Belgian ended the evening with an expected assist value of just 0.03. He was also successful in just 50% of all long balls he played into the final third.
Similarly, central defender Nick Viergever, who donned the captain’s armband, had a mere 33% accuracy in long balls and won only 40% of all ground duels.
Fortunately, they have just one injured player in their ranks: Davy van den Berg.
Utrecht predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-3-3): Barkas; El Karouani, Viergever, van der Hoorn, Horemans; Zechiel, Jensen, Engwanda; Cathline, de Wit, Rodriguez.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Nottingham Forest have won three of their last five games across all competitions.
Their 0-3 defeat to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday was primarily due to their poor showing in the final third. Despite having 59% possession, they took only seven shots, with three of them on target. They ended the evening with an inexcusable xG of 0.53.
The visitors have a long list of injuries that will weigh heavily on them. Murillo, Ryan Yates, Angus Gunn, Ola Aina, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Dilane Bakwa, Douglas Luiz, Chris Wood, and Taiwo Awoniyi are all sidelined. This leaves head coach Sean Dyche with very few options.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Utrecht (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Morato, Milenkovic, Savona; Anderson, Sangare; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson; Jesus.
Utrecht vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
- Pick: Nottingham Forest to win
- Odds: -133 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Utrecht 0-3 Nottingham Forest
Despite their poor showing against Everton, Nottingham Forest are better positioned than Utrecht to win. The visitors have been in better form than their opponents across all competitions (three wins in five matches, as opposed to one win in the same span).
In the tournament standings, Forest sit 16th with eight points, while Utrecht are 32nd with just one point. The hosts have yet to win a game in this competition, and the Tricky Trees remain undefeated on the road.
Utrecht vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: -233 (20Bet)
We expect this clash to clear the two-goal mark, with Forest leading the charge. The team have scored nine goals in five Europa League encounters, averaging almost two every game. Even their goal difference is quite good at +4.
Utrecht, on the other hand, have found the back of the net on just two occasions in five matches and have conceded seven goals. They also haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last six outings across all competitions.
