Fulham vs Nottingham Forest prediction 06.12.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Wednesday, 6th December 2023
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK/20:30 CET
• Venue: Craven Cottage (London)

After successfully staying in the Premier League for one season, Fulham is now aiming to establish themselves as a formidable team in England’s top-tier competition. Despite being just four positions above the relegation zone, Fulham has an eight-point lead. If they maintain their current performance, Marco Silva’s squad should be able to avoid getting embroiled in relegation battles. Of their last four matches, Fulham has lost three. They were defeated 4-3 in their last match against Liverpool on the latter’s home ground. Despite Liverpool having 62% ball possession and 17 more shots than Fulham, the visiting team held a 3-2 lead until the 87th minute. However, two late goals conceded by Silva’s team turned a promising game into a loss.

Nottingham Forest finds itself in a situation not unlike that of Fulham, leading the relegation zone by six points. However, they are performing better than several teams in the league, indicating they may not face too many hurdles. Despite this, Steven Cooper’s squad has suffered three consecutive losses, with the most recent 1-0 defeat at home against Everton. Although the match was closely contested, Everton ultimately scored, leaving Nottingham Forest without any points. Following yet another loss, the Nottinghamshire team may grapple with confidence issues ahead of their game against Fulham.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest pick: Fulham to win

Fulham may have their shortcomings, however, their performance at Craven Cottage is impressive. They secured victories in two out of the last three home matches. Conversely, Nottingham Forest’s away record stands at 1-1-5. As such, Fulham are the expected winners in this matchup, as they are evidently the superior team.
