Everton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview – Premier League 2025/26
Goodison Park hosts a crucial mid-table scrap as Everton welcome Nottingham Forest in a Premier League clash on Saturday, 6th December 2025 at 16:00 WAT / 15:00 GMT.
The Toffees, riding high in 10th with 21 points after a resilient 1-0 win at Bournemouth (their third straight unbeaten), eye a European push with rock-solid home form (4W-2D in 6, 1.0 GA). Forest, slumping to 16th on 15 points after a 0-2 home loss to Brighton, seek consistency amid a mixed run (3W-1D-1L in 5). Everton’s defensive steel (5 conceded in 5) meets Forest’s counter-threat, but H2H favors the hosts: 2W-2D-1L in last 5 (3:2 GD). Injuries: Everton sans Branthwaite; Forest miss Elanga, Aina.
