Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues as Brentford will welcome Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon to the Brentford Community Stadium for the matchday 17 fixture. Can the Bees bounce back on their home soil from their humble defeat at the Carabao Cup quarterfinal?
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford’s woeful away form continues this season as they have suffered two defeats in their last two matches across all competitions, losing 2-1 to Chelsea in the last league match and then bowing down to a 3-1 humbling defeat to Newcastle United in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final, with both of these defeats coming on the road. Thomas Frank’s men are still searching for their first away league win this season, and they will be glad they will return to their home soil in the weekend’s clash. Currently, the Bees sit in 11th place in the league standings with 23 points from their 16 league games.
Thomas Frank’s men have the best home record in the Premier League this season as they remain unbeaten at the Gtech Community Stadium in the league, winning seven of their eight home league matches. The most recent home league saw Thomas Frank’s men make it a five-match winning streak in the league by beating Newcastle United 4-2 on their home soil. The Bees attacking power has been consistent in the face of the net this season on their home soil, with each of their last five league matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest has proven to be the surprise cake of the season, and they have been stunningly good this season. The Tricky Trees have confidently come out strong by beating Liverpool, Manchester United, and Aston Villa but fell to Arsenal and Manchester City. Last weekend, Forest came from a goal behind to secure a 2-1 comeback victory against Aston Villa on their home soil, and this will provide huge confidence for them in the race to secure a historic top-four finish this season. Forest will now begin their pre-Christmas sitting fourth in the league standings with 28 points, two points behind third-place Arsenal and six behind Chelsea.
Nuno Espirito Santo will now be hoping his side can build on their impressive 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with the result ending their two-match away losing streak. Each of Forest’s last four away league games has produced over 2.5 goals scored.
