Back this 7/5 Wolves vs Nottingham Forest single

Wolves' unbeaten record under Vitor Pereira continued last time out, but can they hold off high-flying Nottingham Forest on Monday?

Odds Now's Wolves vs Nottingham Forest selection

Wolves' new manager bounce continued with a well-earned 2-2 draw at Tottenham last weekend, making it three matches unbeaten since the appointment of new boss Vitor Pereira. 

A late equaliser from Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand-Larsen salvaged a point for the visitors, meaning Pereira has now taken seven points from nine in the Wolves dugout. 

The run has significantly boosted the Midlanders' survival prospects after a dreadful start to the campaign, which ultimately culminated in the sacking of former manager Gary O'Neil last month. 

Wolves now sit in 17th position, one point above the relegation zone, but face a Nottingham Forest side on cloud nine heading into the second half of the campaign. 

The visitors are headed up by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, whose side sit pretty in third, only two points behind second-placed Arsenal. 

Forest have won their last five matches on the spin, including their last three on the road.

Forest at odds-against too good to turn down

For all of Wolves' recent success under their new manager, getting the away side at on odds-against 7/5 prior to kick-off is a surprise. 

Forest head to Molineux with the third-best away record in the Premier League and have already upset the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton on their own patch this season. 

Wolves have shown signs of improvements in recent weeks, but have been woeful defensively this term, having conceded a joint-league high 42 goals so far. 

Meanwhile, Nuno's side are on a roll and also face a Wolves side who will be without talisman Matheus Cunha. 

The Brazilian, who has been the shining light in a poor Wolves team, is serving a two-match ban for his antics in the aftermath of his side's 2-1 loss to Ipswich last month. 

His absence, coupled with the remarkable form of Forest, makes backing the away win a no-brainer here given the odds available.
