Prediction Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 22/11/2025

Preview: Anfield showdown with momentum on the line

Anfield will be loud and expectant on 22 November as Liverpool welcome Nottingham Forest in a Premier League fixture that looks weighted in favour of the hosts. Andrew Madley will take charge at a packed Anfield Road, a venue where Liverpool’s attacking numbers have been noticeable this season: 18 goals across the campaign with 10 struck at home, and a home defence that has conceded just five times on its turf. Those figures set the stage for a clash where home advantage and recent form combine to give Jurgen Klopp’s side the clear edge on paper.

Form and context

Liverpool arrive off mixed results — a heavy 3-0 loss at Manchester City highlighted defensive frailties, but there have been wins against Real Madrid and Aston Villa in recent weeks, underlining their capacity to turn in high-level performances. Nottingham Forest’s record tells a quieter, more worrying story; sitting 19th with only two wins in 11, Forest have struggled for consistency and, crucially, remain without an away clean sheet this season. Their most recent league victory, a convincing 3-1 home win over Leeds, suggests they can produce sparks, yet overall they carry the burden of 20 goals conceded across the campaign.

Tactical trends point to an open game. Liverpool’s matches have gone over 2.5 goals often — 8 of 11 — while Forest’s fixtures have also flirted with higher-scoring outcomes. However, the Both Teams To Score percentage for Liverpool’s home games sits lower than Forest’s general BTTS rate, signalling that Liverpool are more likely to control proceedings and secure results while still offering attacking menace.

Why the market favours the Reds

Bookmakers have priced Liverpool at 1.41 for the win, translating to roughly a 71% implied probability. That pricing reflects Anfield influence, superior goal differential at home, and Nottingham Forest’s porous away defensive record (9 goals conceded away). Historical meetings this season produced a 1-1 draw when Forest hosted Liverpool — a reminder that Forest can be stubborn — but on Merseyside the balance strongly tips toward the home side.
