Nottingham F. vs Brentford Prediction

Nottingham Forest come up against visiting side Brentford on Saturday at City Ground, Nottingham in a Premier League fixture. Having never played each other in the Premier League in the 21st century, this is the first time Nottingham Forest comes up against Brentford in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

Sitting bottom of the table, Nottingham Forest have claimed nine points after 13 rounds, while Brentford have amassed 15 points. This places the latter as number 11 in the Premier League at the moment.

Brentford will be looking to increase the gap on Nottingham Forest after their Premier League clash this coming Saturday. However, the hosts will be eager to prevent that as they will surely want to keep their upcoming opponent close.

Nottingham Forest scored six goals, conceded 25 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Brentford managed a bearable 11 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.1 goals per game. They conceded 17 goals in total, and while claiming three clean sheets, they conceded 1.7 goals an average per game.

Nottingham Forest vs Brentford Prediction

Nottingham Forest form

Nottingham Forest went through their last three matches with a 0-0 draw against Brighton, a 1-0 win against Liverpool and a 5-0 defeat against Arsenal. Nottingham Forest managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Premier League. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded nine goals.

Most people predicted Nottingham Forest were in for a seriously tough Premier League campaign and they have done little to counter predictions.

Brentford Form

Brentford have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Chelsea, they gained a point in a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Aston Villa, who ran out 4-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 with Wolverhampton. Brentford came through their last six away games in the Premier League without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew three and lost three in which, they were outscored by 15 goals to six.

Not many experts saw Brentford as a team for a top half finish this season, but currently they are well ahead of said expectations.

Brentford and Nottingham Forest seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Saturday, as we aim for both teams to score.

Brentford won one of their previous four outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed five points. They scored eight and conceded nine goals.
