Prediction published on 18/01/2024, 12:30  by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions

Facing a potential points deduction, Nottingham Forest face a tricky visit to Brentford with both teams just above the relegation zone. This Premier League matchday will be played at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, the hosts are 16th with 19 points from 19 matches while the visitors are 15th with 20 points from 20 matches. Only three points separate the hosts from the bottom-three, so there’s a lot on the plate for the team. Even otherwise, they face the challenge of improving their recent form having lost seven of their last eight league games. That includes losing five in a row, although four of those saw them score at least a goal. Even at home, they have lost three of the last four league matches meaning they face a tricky quest of improving their form.

Forest have won their last two league games and importantly, against higher-placed clubs. A 3-1 win over Newcastle followed by a 2-1 victory over Manchester United meant, they have form in their corner as they look to revive their season. These results meant the visitors have halted a run of seven games where they failed to win – drawing one and losing six. The win over Newcastle has come away from home, where Forest have won four points in their last two trips. This run of two games has come after losing three away league games in a row and the visiting fans will hope the momentum continues.
