Brentford vs Nottingham Forest predictions

Brentford come into this after losing 2-0 to Chelsea on Saturday and that was after a good run of form that saw them go unbeaten in six in all competitions.

They even scored four against Bournemouth and Everton, three against Sunderland and two over Wolves in that time, a bigger feat putting so many past two teams with excellent defensive records in Everton and Sunderland.

The Bees will also have the upper hand due to the fact they only will have played two games in eight days whereas Forest will be returning from their Europa League clash away in Braga, Portugal.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest betting tips

Can Forest add to points haul?

Forest are down in 17th in the Premier League table, almost separate from their Europa League efforts.

With just six wins from 22 games they find themselves in a bit of a mess if they start to falter.

However, they’ve picked up four points in their last two as boss Sean Dyche might be starting to eke out some more vital points.

They are still only five points clear of the relegation zone now though and need to keep that momentum going.

But Brentford have looked a solid team in attack recently and could bounce back from a tough Chelsea clash last weekend.

Bees to swarm the Tricky Trees

Brentford are just two points off of Man United and three off of Liverpool who are fourth in the Premier League table.

In fact, they’ve won more games than Chelsea and United in the Premier League this season but just haven’t kept hold of a point when they maybe should have.

The Tricky Trees won the reverse fixture back in August 3-1 but there’s been plenty of changes since that season opener and Brentford will be keen to not let Forest do the double over them where more goals beckon.

Igor Thiago has been sensational for Brentford and can be credited with a staggering 16 goals from just 22 appearances.
