Notts Forest can take a giant leap towards securing a place in next season's Champions League, if they can overcome midtable Brentford at the City Ground on Thursday night. Despite falling 2-0 to Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup semi final, it has been a magnificent season for Forest and they are now within touching distance of a top five finish. Victory on Thursday will move them back into third place, and give them a three point cushion over sixth placed Chelsea with just four games remaining. 

Standing in their way at the City Ground will be a Brentford side with little to play for in the remaining weeks of the season. That being said, it has still been another highly satisfactory season for Thomas Frank's side and they are on course for their highest ever top flight finish.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Brentford Prediction

This is a monumental game for Forest in their quest for Champions League football, and we think they will bounce back from their Wembley FA Cup defeat to get the job done against a Brentford side with little left to play for. Wideman Anthony Elanga looked extremely bright coming off the bench against Manchester City, and has been in fine goalscoring form of late. We are predicting the Swedish winger to carry on his strong scoring form and bag another goal against the Bees. Our prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Brentford is: Anthony Elanga to score.
