Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Odds & Picks – Pickswise

Brentford have dropped just 2 home points in the Premier League this season, but their away record has been dismal – Wednesday’s defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup was their 8th away defeat of the season – and it is stifling their progress. Goals have almost been guaranteed at the Gtech Community Stadium this season – Wolves are the only team in the league whose games have played more – but while Thomas Frank can call on the excellent Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa among others, they are still likely to present their opponents with plenty of options. Despite 5 consecutive home wins, the Bees have conceded 11 goals in these games and there is a strong chance that their flimsy defense could be severely tested by this season’s surprise package, Nottingham Forest.

The Tricky Trees are dreaming of reliving the glory days of the 1970s as they head into Christmas in 4th place in the EPL, having been the only team to beat leaders Liverpool this term. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have demonstrated that the Anfield victory was no fluke with a string of strong results, including recent victories over Manchester United and Aston Villa, and it is no shame that their only road defeats of the season have been at Manchester City and Arsenal . Expect Forest to take it to their red-hot hosts and fight for 3 points.
