I’m a Mansfield Town season ticket holder who runs the @MTFCMusings X account. I have appeared across many fan podcasts previewing Mansfield Town games, as well as Gab Suttons EFL Debate.

In this article...

Ange Postecoglou will be looking to claim his first win as Nottingham Forest boss when his team take on Swansea City in Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Nottingham Forest (-1) Handicap

In truth, I’m not sure how much rotation we will see from Ange Postecoglu, but whatever team they put out, I expect them to qualify. That price is not very appealing 1.33, so the way I’m getting with Forest is in the -1 handicap at 2.75. Swansea’s strongest side gave away two goals and 1.6xG away to Hull on Saturday, and Forest should be on a different level.

This is the perfect game for the new manager to showcase a more attacking style of play, against lower-grade opposition with not as much to worry about coming in the opposite direction. Swansea have scored just six times in five games so far.

Omari Hutchinson to have 3+ Shots

There could be a first Forest start for Omari Hutchinson, who likes to operate off the right-hand side and cut in on his favoured left foot.

When he played at the Championship level in 23/24 for Ipswich, he had 3+ shots in seven of his 20 starts. That was an Ipswich side that enjoyed a lot of dominance over their opponents, the same kind that Forest should be able to exert here.

  • We know that ‘Big Ange’ loves to win trophies, so will he be taking this one seriously, or using it as an opportunity to look at his squad.

  • Nottingham Forest are unsurprisingly favourites, priced at 1.62. The draw is available at 3.8, whilst Swansea can be backed at 4.75. Based on quality of squad I think Forest should be a shorter price, but their recent form has been a little worrying.

  • Under 2.5 goals is being offered at 2.0, whilst over 2.5 goals is 1.73. I see a low-scoring game; five of Swansea’s seven games have gone under 2.5 goals, and I think they’ll be playing on the counter here.

Swans Start Well

Swansea have made a good start to their first full season under the stewardship of Alan Sheehan. From five games, they have two wins, two draws, and just a solitary defeat, which came in a tight game on opening day against league leaders Middlesbrough. 

It should be noted that they’ve had a kind start fixture wise, playing each of the Sheffield sides who have just one point between them, 20th placed Hull who they failed to beat, and 17th placed Watford. Their games have been low scoring affairs, with just ten goals scored in the five games, with four of those coming last time out.


🔴 Forest Fringe Players To Impress

Having four competitions to juggle is an alien thing to most Forest fans under a certain age, but it’s the same number for the manager as he negotiated last season with Spurs. You’d have to assume that The Carabao Cup is the lowest on those list of priorities, coming earlier in the season than the FA Cup and with less prestige than European competition.

Big Ange will therefore most likely take this opportunity to have a look at some players he’s not too familiar with, which should give opportunity to Forests’ seven new signings that were on the bench at The Emirates on Saturday lunch time.


📊 Swansea v Nottingham Forest H2H

These two sides last met during Nottingham Forest’s promotion season from the Championship in 2021/22, with Forest thumping the Swans both times, recording 1-4 and 5-1 victories.
