Nottingham Forest vs Brentford Prediction

Nottingham Forest host Brentford in the lone Premier League game on Sunday’s schedule at The City Ground.

The hosts will be searching for their third win of the season as they are hoping to make amends for the two successive dismal displays on the home patch against the likes of Burnley.

The Reds were eliminated by Burnley in the League Cup with a 0-1 defeat in August, three weeks before barely avoiding a defeat in a 1-1 stalemate in the Premier League game against Clarets.

Head coach Steve Cooper can be satisfied with the defensive displays his men have put up of late as none of the last four games they played in all competitions provided three or more goals.

The run includes a 2-0 defeat to the reigning champions Manchester City last weekend at Etihad Stadium, the only game in which Nottingham Forest conceded more than once during the mentioned streak.

The hosts should have a nice chance to keep such fine defensive showings going here against Brentford who have been struggling to create chances in the last couple of weeks.

The Bees managed to find the back of the net just once in the last two league affairs against Newcastle and Everton. The 1-3 home defeat to the struggling Toffees was a particularly disappointing result for Thomas Frank and his troops.

Latest Meetings

Brentford have two wins and draws each in the previous four meetings with the Reds.

Nottingham Forest managed just four wins in the previous eleven home outings against the Bees.

Both teams were on target in each of the last four of their clashes.

The Verdict

Nottingham Forest have improved their defensive showings of late while Brentford have struggled badly to create chances in the last two league games.

The Under 2.5 goals FT is our main betting option at the 1.72 odds while we also fancy the 3.25 odds offered for Nottingham Forest to keep a clean sheet on Sunday.
