Nottingham Forest v Fulham

Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Preview

Nottingham Forest picked up a point in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home with Crystal Palace which became Forest's second stalemate on the trot following a previous 1-1 draw away from home at Luton Town but these results have not been enough to lift Nuno Espirito Santo's side further away from the bottom three clubs, while Fulham still remain in 12th place after they shared the points in a high-scoring 3-3 draw away from home at Sheffield United.

Nottingham Forest's winless run in the Premier League was nevertheless extended to five games with that draw on Saturday and having also slipped to three defeats on the trot previously with losses incurred against the likes of Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brighton respectively, the hosts look far from a guaranteed win here on Tuesday night.

The bigger picture shows the Tricky Trees have managed to capture just one win from their previous 10 games overall which came in the shape of a 2-0 home win against West Ham but this sequence of results also include slipping to six defeats as well, so the prospects of the hosts picking up all three points here on Tuesday night look fairly unlikely.

Fulham managed to claim a point away from home at Bramall Lane in a 3-3 draw at Sheffield United despite being 3-1 down and a United goal being ruled out which would have made 4-1 to the hosts but Marco Silva's side are made of sterner stuff these days and The Cottagers walked away from Yorkshire with a point in their back-pockets.

Despite recent defeats at the hands of Aston Villa and Wolves, Fulham have been handed just these two defeats in their last nine games overall which have been an encouraging run of form for the London club as they prepare for this upcoming trip to the east midlands to take on Nottingham Forest.

Previous wins against Bournemouth, Manchester United, Brighton and Tottenham underline Fulham's increased threat this season under Marco Silva as the visitors currently enjoy the relative safety of 12th place in the Premier League standings where The Cottagers possess a useful 17-point cushion over third from bottom club, Luton Town.

These recent wins also suggest Fulham might just hold the edge ahead of this upcoming clash at the City Ground although results away from home have been decidedly poor as Fulham have managed to claim just one win from their previous 14 outings on their travels, so there's also plenty of room for improvement for the visitors as well.
