There will be a vital game at the bottom end of the Premier League standings this weekend, as Brentford bid to end their long winless sequence in domestic matches. Nottingham Forest are the visitors after winning their last two in the league.
Before Betting On Brentford vs Nottingham Forest
A massive game at the Gtech Community Stadium will take place on Saturday, as Brentford bid to get their campaign back on track. The Bees come into the weekend after losing their last five matches in the competition, while only the bottom three sides in the Premier League have picked up fewer victories at the halfway stage.
Nottingham Forest only sit a point and a place higher than Brentford in the current standings, but their fortunes have improved in recent weeks after winning each of their last two matches in the competition. Forest could record a third straight win this weekend, which would lift them up to 14th in the standings.
Brentford have an excellent record in this fixture, as they have avoided defeat in their last five league meetings with Forest. Their most recent defeat against their East Midlands rivals was a 1-0 loss in the Championship in January 2020. Forest lost this fixture last term, but they haven’t suffered back-to-back defeats against the Bees away from home since 2016.
Forest have underperformed in London since returning to the Premier League, as they have averaged 2.4 goals per game against across their 12 matches in the capital. However, Brentford will need to respond this weekend after losing seven of their last eight. The Bees haven’t lost six on the bounce in league competition since their spell in the second tier in March 1993.
