Fulham v Nottingham Forest

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Fulham produced an impressive 2-1 win away from home last time out in the Premier League when The Cottagers got the better of Newcastle United at St James' Park which helped Fulham maintain their position in the top half of the Premier League table where the London club occupy ninth place heading into this weekend's action.

Nottingham Forest bounced back from their previous heavy 5-0 defeat away from home at Bournemouth last time out in the English top flight when the Tricky Trees registered a comprehensive result of their own by way of a 7-0 humiliation of Brighton at the City Ground to further consolidate their position in the top four pack.

Despite a couple of recent defeats at the hands of West Ham and Manchester United, Fulham have enjoyed a much more successful season this time around under manager Marco Silva as consistent results have enabled The Cottagers to avoid any worrying relegation battles, instead, Fulham are now just five points adrift of the top five clubs.

However, it should be noted that Fulham have now failed to win any of their last five home games at Craven Cottage in the English top flight, drawing four and suffering a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, so the hosts may struggle to gain the upper hand over their visitors on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest occupy third place in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's Premier League action and the east midlands club's position in the top four places and therefore prospects of securing a place in next season's Champions League is looking pretty rosy at the moment.

Indeed, the Tricky Trees possess a useful six-point cushion between themselves and fifth placed Manchester City and having picked up eight wins within their last 10 matches in the Premier League, Nuno Espírito Santo's side will fancy their chances of gaining a result down on the Thames on Saturday afternoon.

Four of Nottingham Forest's eight recent wins have been achieved away from home as the east midlands visitors have picked up useful wins on the road at Manchester United, Brentford, Everton and Wolves respectively, while the bigger picture shows the visitors have produced a vast improvement upon results away from home in general.

Indeed, Nottingham Forest have been dealt just three defeats in their previous 14 outings on the road in the English top flight whilst also collecting nine wins along the way as well, thus giving Forest a decent chance of picking up another three points on Saturday.
