A manager change for Wolves has revitalized their campaign as they are unbeaten in three matches and sit outside the relegation zone. Against third-place Nottingham Forest, Emanuel Rosu believes Wolves can continue their good run of form.

In-form Nottingham Forest takes on a revamped Wolves side who look a different team since Vitor Pereira took charge.

While Forest have won their previous five Premier League matches, my Wolves vs. Nottingham Forest predictions believe the hosts can pack a big bite.

Here are my best Premier League predictions for Monday, January 6. 

EPL predictions for Wolves vs Nottingham Forest

My best bet:
Wolves double chance — Win/Draw  (-159 at TonyBet)

My analysis

Wolves have won seven points in their last three matches. They beat Leicester 3-0 away, then Man. United 2-0 at home, only to draw against Tottenham 2-2 in North London before entering the New Year. Despite Matheus Cunha being unavailable due to suspension, Wolves are on a comeback mission since Portuguese manager Vitor Pereira took the reins at Molineux. They climbed outside the relegation zone and look well-equipped to trouble the league's big guns.

Forest are having an excellent campaign which could lead them to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season. But teams with skillful players such as Wolves have always proved tough opponents to handle by Forest. This is why I'll stick to the double chance favoring Wolves at -159 via TonyBet. I am also tempted by the simple draw at an excellent +229.

Wolves vs Nottingham Forest same-game parlay (SGP)

Wolves double chance — Win/Draw

Under 4.5 cards

Nottingham Forest Under 1.5 goals

Referee Peter Bankes will take charge in this match. The 42-year-old has a reputation for not getting cards out easily. In his last 11 games, he only showed more than four yellow cards twice, so I'll go for under 4.5 bookings.

To get my SGP up to a +485 return, I'll also include goals. Considering the names they could miss in defense, some of Forest's attacking energy might need to be invested in trying to keep Wolves silent in their own half instead of constantly raiding the opposite box.
