Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Brentford
Nottingham Forest are above Brentford in the standings thanks to the 2 wins at the end of 2023. There’s only one point between them. Brentford has one postponed game to play. Both teams can’t be calm, as they’re just 3 and 4 points respectively ahead of the relegation zone. It’s hard to take some points, playing against opponents from the upper part of the table. This is why there’s a special focus on the games against direct rivals.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest managed to beat Newcastle United (3:1) and Manchester United (2:1) consecutively in the previous two rounds of the Premier League. However, before that happened, they had had a series of seven games without wins, with six defeats and one draw.
Brentford – Nottingham Forest prediction
I’m expecting to see the home side winning this game. I believe that they will score more than one goal. Ivan Toney is back, which should make the Brentford’s attacking line stronger. Despite some players missing the game due to injuries and the other ones participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, I think that Brentford is supposed to score at least twice. Nottingham Forest concedes two goals on average in their Premier League away games.
