Paul Merson makes 'difficult' Nottingham Forest vs Wolves prediction

Paul Merson believes Nottingham Forest will end their winless home run when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers this Saturday.

Forest are currently without a win in three of their games at the City Ground, which includes two draws and a defeat to Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle respectively. Wolves on the other hand, are winless in their last two games.

Heading into the clash, a defeat to either side could impose further threat to their survival hopes with both sitting just a few points from the drop zone. Although Forest are currently 16th and Wolves in 13th, only one point separates them.

The former Arsenal star Merson however, believes Forest will get back on track and distance themselves from the relegation zone with a win. "This is a massive game for both teams. Nottingham Forest have got to start winning their home games," Merson wrote on his SportsKeeda column.

"They haven't won any of their last three home matches. They have three big games coming up before a difficult run, and this is a must-win game for them.

"Wolves fell behind against Leeds again last week and then had a player sent off. A Forest win here would bring Wolves right back into the relegation battle."

Merson's prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers.
