Who wins Everton vs Forest?

Too close to call, with a whisker in favour of Everton. The Wazir Win goals model gives Everton 45%, the draw 25% and Forest 30%, and expects 2.7 goals in all. Our likeliest scoreline is 1-0. Kick-off: Sat, 27 Feb 2027, 20:30 IST at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

What will decide it?

Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.

  1. Home edge

    Edge: Everton

    Everton are the better side and at home, which our model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two advantages stack.

  2. Goal expectancy

    Edge: Even

    At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (50% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Everton

    Everton rate clearly higher, and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the game state favours them heavily.

How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Everton

Expect Everton to stay compact at Hill Dickinson Stadium and look for a moment rather than control the game.

Away

Nottingham Forest

Forest are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball on their trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium, but short of the creativity to dominate.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Everton name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Forest score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

The story of Everton vs Forest
