Brentford vs Nottingham Forest: prediction & betting odds 21 Dec 2024
Betting tips 21 Dec 2024
Nottingham Forest are back in the hunt for a Champions League spot. They currently sit in fourth, ahead of Manchester City, to whom they recently lost. It's crucial for them to solidify their position, but they face a major hurdle in the form of Brentford's home fortress.
Brentford truly are a fortress. It's not just difficult to defeat them at the GTech Community Stadium; even securing a draw is challenging. Only West Ham United managed to snatch one (1:1). Therefore, their two consecutive losses to Chelsea (1:2) and Newcastle United (1:3) shouldn't be misleading: they are as poor away as they are strong at home.
Nottingham Forest, however, aspire for more than just a draw. Their first opportunity in years to qualify for the premier European tournament means they must gather points. Interestingly, they have mirrored their home form with away results—four wins, two draws, and two losses. But against whom were these victories? The level of opposition varies greatly, from Southampton (1:0) to Liverpool (1:0). Manchester United (3:2) is also a notable scalp.
Nonetheless, it's not guaranteed that the visitors can even manage a draw, as since Nottingham Forest's return to the Premier League, Brentford have won both home matches against them, albeit with some difficulties (2:1, 3:2). Moreover, this season, Brentford have been welcoming to guests—with both teams scoring in all 10 games. Therefore, our prediction aligns with this pattern.
