Nottingham Forest will have no time to reflect on their heavy loss to Arsenal, as they are set to travel to Wales for a League Cup third-round match. This will be the first time the two teams meet since 2022. Below we have a prediction.
Swansea lost the last two meetings with Forest. They are in perfect shape to avoid a third straight loss to their visitors, as they are unbeaten in the last six matches, having won three. The Welsh side has stabilized after their losing start to the season.
Twice in their last match, they lost the lead to eventually draw 2-2 with Hull City, and this time they will hope to do better.
Swansea beat Plymouth 2-1 to advance to this stage, while Nottingham had a bye. Nottingham Forest have endured a tough run-out in their recent matches and will view this as a perfect chance to bounce back.
Their season started with a 1-0 win against Brentford, but they have only managed a draw in the three matches that followed. Ahead of this game, they fell to a 3-0 away defeat at Arsenal.
The visitors, with a new manager still settling in, have conceded six times in the last two matches.

Our Swansea vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Nottingham Forest, playing in the superior league, will be expected to walk over Swansea. However, there are factors working against the visitors. Firstly, they are not enjoying a great run of form, coming from two straight defeats. Forest also lost twice in their last three visits here.
There’s also the additional pressure to rest key players, with bigger assignments coming ahead. Swansea do not have the same concerns, and apart from their unbeaten run, are likely to send out their best 11. Our prediction for Swansea v Nottingham Forest is that Swansea wins the match.
