This weekend, Brentford and Nottingham Forest, two Premier League teams who are only one point apart, will face each other. The match will be held on Saturday evening at Brentford’s home ground.
Brentford has struggled to duplicate their 2022-23 season performance when they secured a place in the top half of the English league table. The suspension of Ivan Toney has been one contributing factor to their current form. However, fans can rejoice as the 27-year-old is now back in action. As they approach this weekend’s match, Thomas Frank’s team has been on a losing streak, with seven games without a win and five consecutive Premier League losses.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest was on the brink of slipping into the red zone. However, Steve Cooper’s dismissal and the subsequent hiring of Nuno as the head coach have led to significant changes. Forest enters this match on a streak of four undefeated games in all competitions, featuring victories over Manchester United and Newcastle United in the two league games that took place during this period.
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Brentford has been struggling to maintain clean sheets in recent months. They are heading into this weekend’s game with a streak of eleven games without a clean sheet, having let in three or more goals in three of their last four games. On the bright side, Thomas Frank’s team has managed to score in their last five games, and the return of Toney is a significant advantage.
Nottingham Forest’s recent triumphs are rooted in a strong front line, with them scoring a minimum of two goals in each of their previous five matches. Furthermore, Forest has maintained a commendable goalscoring history in their recent encounters with the Bees, with the Reds netting at least one goal in all of their last nine matches.
