Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Prediction

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last three games after drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton, beating Liverpool 0-1 and drawing 2-2 with Brighton. Nottingham Forest only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at City Ground, Nottingham in the Premier League. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded ten goals.

Fulham go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in an international tournament.

Fulham Form

Fulham look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 1-1 against West Ham. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Preston in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Newcastle in a 3-1 win. Fulham won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and eight scored.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Fulham will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

Nottingham Forest, as well as Fulham, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest are yet to experience the foul smell of failure this season in the Premier League. They haven't lost a single game, in stead recording two wins and three draws. Fulham have a record of two wins, two draws and one defeat in the Premier League.
