LiontipsLiverpool vs Nottingham Forest. Prediction (odds 2.40) and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Liverpool were given a relatively easy schedule to start with and played three rounds confidently. They beat Ipswich (2:0), Brentford (2:0) and Manchester United (3:0) one after another. Arne Sloth 's men immediately entered the fight with Manchester City for first place - these two teams are the only ones with the maximum nine points after three games.
As you can see, there was no failure after Jurgen Klopp left. Under the new coach, the Merseysiders look very reliable in defense, blocking all approaches to their penalty area. At the same time, the attack has an excellent selection of players, you can expect a threat from anyone. Salah and Diaz shone against Manchester United. The first gave two assists and scored one goal, the second scored two goals. In general, the trio of Salah-Jota-Diaz in attack under Arne Sloth is almost unchanged in each of the matches and poses a threat to any opponent.
Liverpool have not yet entered the League Cup. It should be noted that, taking into account friendly games, the team has played eight matches in which they have not lost – seven wins and one draw. During all this time, the Merseysiders have conceded only twice.

With five points, the Foresters approach the start of the fourth round in ninth place in the league table.

1.81Tip and bets
At the start of the season , Liverpool looks more than convincing. In defense, the Merseysiders are more reliable than ever, in attack, Salah, Jota and Diaz are showing great performances. It is noticeable that in matches with not the most formidable opponents, Arne Sloth's team plays with a reserve, and can add at the right moments. We do not think that Nottingham Forest will withstand the onslaught of such an opponent, who has a noticeable advantage in class.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.63

There is no doubt that Liverpool will be constantly aiming at the opponent's goal throughout the match at home. It should be noted that in 9 of the last 11 home matches in the Premier League, the Merseysiders have made at least eight shots on target. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
