Brentford vs Nottingham Forest 20.01.2024 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Brentford take on Nottingham Forest at the Gtech Community Stadium in London in a match in the Premier League on Saturday. Both these teams have had their struggles in the competition and will want to make sure that they emerge from them unscathed. Brentford have the advantage of playing in familiar conditions, and this gives them an upper hand.

Key Highlights 

Brentford have been known to do well with the ball in midfield, and this is what has kept them in the game so far in the Premier League. Although their creativity is not amongst the best in the league, they have managed to hold their own especially when it comes to marking men closely and not giving them enough room to free their passes and string them together.

Injury Report

Both these teams have a long list of players who are unavailable for selection, either due to injuries or international duty. For Brentford, Shandon Baptiste, Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen are among those who will be missing out. Felipe, Divock Origi and Anthony Elanga are doubtful starters for Forest. 

Prediction

It is quite a challenging game to call given that Brentford and Nottingham Forest are separated by just one point in the league table at the moment. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. The home team may have a slight advantage but Forest are known to do well whenever they have been pushed out of their comfort zones. It will be a good game to watch.
