The goal timing numbers from Liverpool's last 30 matches make it clear this game will be decided late: they score most in the 46-60 min period (21%) but concede most in the 76-90 min period (26%). Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest also score and concede most in the 76-90 min period (22% each). So the game is likely to open up in the final 15 minutes. The recent form of the two sides is vastly different. Liverpool drew 2-2 with Newcastle in the Premier League on 23 Aug, while Nottingham Forest lost 0-2 at home to Leeds United in the Carabao Cup on 25 Aug and lost 0-1 to Leeds in the Premier League on 22 Aug. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how deep Nottingham Forest's defense will sit, because if they are pressured from the start and concede an early goal, the game will open up and the total goals could go over the line.
