Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 02/04/2024, 06:21  by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions

Relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest will hope to keep a confident Fulham at bay as the sides meet in this weekday clash. The City Ground in Nottinghamshire will host this match on Tuesday, with the hosts 17th with 22 points and the visitors 12th with 39 points. Nottingham Forest picked up a crucial point in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday, making it back-to-back draws with the same score. They are now outside the relegation zone, but only on goal difference. Crucially, they haven’t won in five league games now, losing three. Unless things change, they could be dragged back into the relegation zone, as Luton are breathing down their neck. Playing at home hasn’t quite helped them, unfortunately, as Nottingham have lost seven of their last ten home league games. They won just two matches in this sequence, but four points from the last three home games mean they could be putting in a big effort here.

Fulham snatched a point over the weekend with a 3-3 draw against Sheffield United, with two goals coming beyond the 85th minute. The confidence in the side is evident, as the Cottagers have won three and lost just once across their last five league games. They are three points adrift of ninth-placed Brighton, and a positive result here could spur them into the top half. Fulham will be careful about dropping their guard, though, as their away form hasn’t been top-notch. Away from home, they have won only one of their last 14 away league games. Furthermore, they lost six of their last nine matches in that sequence and won’t take things easy on this trip.
