Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Fulham are still five points away from the European places, while Nottingham Forest are sitting in that zone. However, securing another victory won’t be easy for the visitors—Fulham rarely allow teams to take points at Craven Cottage.
Fulham
After losing to Manchester United at home in late January, Fulham won both of their next two matches away. Newcastle United seemed a real attacking force, yet Fulham limited them to just one goal before staging another comeback victory (2:1). Then came Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup’s fourth round—another 2:1 win, with Rodrigo Muniz scoring twice to add to his previous goal against Newcastle United.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest boast a more physically dominant forward in Chris Wood, who recently scored a hat-trick against Brighton. That match saw unbelievable efficiency (7 goals from just 3.41 xG). However, in their FA Cup clash with third-tier Exeter City, Nottingham Forest struggled to win in regular time (2:2), needing penalties to advance.
Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Fulham already beat Nottingham Forest away and keeping them from scoring won’t be easy, but the hosts should at least manage to avoid defeat. Expect another strong home performance from Fulham.
