Nottingham Forest vs Brentford: Pickswise Expert Predictions
Brentford have dropped only 2 home points in the Premier League this season, but their away form has been poor – Wednesday’s defeat at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup marked their 8th road loss of the season, hindering their progress. At home, goals have been almost a certainty at the Gtech Community Stadium – Wolves are the only team with more goals in their games – but despite having standout players like Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, Brentford’s defense remains vulnerable, offering their opponents plenty of chances. Despite 5 consecutive home wins, the Bees have conceded 11 goals in those matches, and their shaky defense could be tested by Nottingham Forest, this season’s surprise team.
Forest are dreaming of reliving their 1970s glory days as they head into Christmas in 4th place in the EPL, and they are the only team to have beaten league leaders Liverpool this season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has proved that their Anfield win wasn’t a fluke, with strong results including recent victories over Manchester United and Aston Villa. Their only away losses have come against Manchester City and Arsenal, so expect Forest to challenge their high-flying hosts and fight for all three points.
