Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo prepares his side for kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Stats imply both sides possess a number of attacking options, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the match, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.

Goal Statistics

Liverpool's defensive record is very strong, Arne Slot's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive English Premier League matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Nottingham Forest makes sense in this context.

Liverpool's forwards have been excellent of late, finding the net twice or more in 12 consecutive English Premier League outings. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Tuesday night.
