Nottingham Forest team overview
After a superb campaign last season, hardly anybody expected Nottingham Forest to have so many problems. With only 13 games left in the season, they are only three points above the drop zone and urgently need points. Nottingham Forest showed some signs of encouragement lately, with three games in a row without defeat. However, the positive streak ended in the previous match, when Sean Dyche's team lost 3-1 on the road against Leeds. The hosts ended with xG of 2.50, while the guests had only 1.33, so Nottingham Forest couldn't have had any complaints about the final result.
Nottingham Forest are not playing well, and it will not be surprising if the game against Wolverhampton is the last chance for the manager Sean Dyche. According to reports in the English media, Nottingham Forest's board is very interested in Fulham manager Marco Silva, who would be the primary target if they sack Dyche.
Nottingham Forest have some problems with missing players. They will be without John Victor, Chris Wood, and Nicolo Savona on Wednesday night, while Murillo and Matz Sels are questionable. The good news is that Neco Williams should return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension.

Wolverhampton team overview
Wolverhampton are still not mathematically relegated from the Premier League, but they would need a miracle to save themself. Rob Edwards' team is currently 18 points behind the safety. Their form doesn't offer optimism either, as Wolverhampton lost the last three matches in a row. In the most recent outing, Edwards' team lost 3-1 at home against Chelsea. The hosts' terrible defense again let them down as the guests ended with xG of 3.44.
Wolverhampton haven't improved significantly since Rob Edwards came in November. However, the manager signed a three-and-a-half-year contract upon arrival, which suggests the club's hierarchy may be willing to take a longer-term view. While he is undoubtedly under pressure, his job may not be immediately at risk, and he could still remain in charge even if Wolves suffer relegation.
Toti and Andre are the only ones unavailable for the trip to Nottingham.
