Premier League’s newcomers Southampton will want to get their first victory of the season against Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday. Can the Saints recover from their unsuccessful visit to Newcastle the previous weekend?
Southampton returned to the Premier League with a 0-1 defeat against Newcastle. Southampton demonstrated they can generate opportunities and battle in this league against the Magpies, despite the loss. While playing with an additional player, they had several opportunities but couldn’t convert. The game with Nottingham Forest will be crucial to remain in the top flight this season. Fortunately, the team is healthy before the match.
Nottingham Forest started the season with a 1-1 draw vs Bournemouth, playing aggressively with several attacking moves. In the summer, they added Milenkovic, a defender projected to start, and Andersen, a quality midfielder to reinforce the defence. After escaping relegation last season, the squad wants a more stable and successful season. The contest versus Southampton will be tricky. Only crucial midfielder Danilo’s injury in the past game has hampered Nottingham.
