Wolves Set to Face Nottingham Forest as Pedro Lima Makes Premier League Debut
Wolves are gearing up for a crucial encounter at Molineux, where they’ll face a tough Nottingham Forest side, currently flying high in third place in the Premier League. This match promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams coming off strong performances recently. Forest, under the leadership of former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo, have proven themselves as a formidable opponent, and his return to Molineux adds an extra layer of intrigue to the fixture.
For Wolves, the spotlight will be on the debut of Pedro Lima, who has been handed a starting role in his Premier League debut at right-back. It’s a huge opportunity for the young talent, and fans will be hoping he seizes the moment. The defense will also feature Rayan Ait-Nouri on the left, and the central pairing of Matt Doherty and Santiago Bueno. In goal, Jose Sa continues his role as the number one keeper, making his 13th appearance of the season.

In the midfield, Joao Gomes and Tommy Doyle will anchor the middle of the park, with Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo Gomes providing width on the wings. Up front, in the absence of the suspended Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-chan are expected to lead the line. It’s a significant challenge for the team, with Cunha’s suspension leaving a noticeable gap, but Pereira will be counting on his forwards to step up in his absence.
Mario Lemina and Pablo Sarabia return to the bench after recovering from injuries, but there’s no Andre in the squad as he’s back in Brazil for the birth of his son. Despite this, the Wolves squad looks ready to continue their recent good form under Vitor Pereira. Pereira will be hoping that his players can build on the confidence they’ve been gaining since his arrival.
The match will be a test for Wolves, not just because of the threat posed by Forest, but also because of the absence of Cunha. Forest’s counter-attacking play, combined with their consistency and pace, will be a tough challenge for the hosts. However, Wolves have players like Jorgen Strand Larsen and Goncalo Guedes, who can make an impact, and Pereira will be hoping they can provide the spark needed for a positive result.
With the energy of the home crowd behind them, Wolves will look to claim all three points and continue building under Pereira’s guidance. The clash with Nuno’s Forest will be a significant test of their progress as they aim to kick off the year with a win. Wolves fans will be eagerly watching to see how Lima performs on his Premier League debut and if their team can rise to the occasion and stop Forest’s momentum.
