Wolves vs Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have won six consecutive Premier League games, the longest winning run (across all teams) in the competition this season. Meanwhile, it’s the first time Forest have won six successive top-flight matches since May-September 1979 (7 in a row), doing so within a single season for the first time since 1966-67 (two runs of six wins).

Nottingham Forest sit third in the Premier League, behind Arsenal only on goal difference (level on 40 points each). Of the 70 teams to win 40+ points from their first 20 games in a Premier League campaign (prior to 2024-25), only four have failed to finish inside the top four at the end of the season.

Nottingham Forest have kept nine clean sheets in the Premier League this season, more than any other side. They’ve kept four successive shutouts in the top-flight for the first time since March 1992 (a run of five).

Wolves have lost just one of their last 12 league games against Nottingham Forest (W5 D6) and are unbeaten in all five against them in the Premier League (W1 D4).

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last four top-flight away games against Wolves (D2 L2), since a 4-1 win in December 1980 under Brian Clough.

Each of the last four Premier League meetings between Nottingham Forest and Wolves has finished as a draw – Forest last drew five consecutive league games against an opponent vs Rotherham (2003-2005) while Wolves last did so against Newcastle (2019-2021).

Wolves have won their opening league match in just one of the last six calendar years (D3 L2), beating Manchester United 1-0 in 2022.

Nottingham Forest lost 3-2 against Brentford in their opening league match of 2024 – they’ve not lost their first league game in consecutive calendar years since 2006/2007 in League One.
