Brentford v Nottingham Forest

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Saturday evening's fixture in the Premier League features this upcoming clash between a downward spiralling Brentford outfit who have suffered five defeats on the trot against an upwardly mobile Nottingham Forest side who have collected recent back-to-back wins in the English top flight.

Recent losses to Brighton, Sheffield United, Aston Villa, Wolves and Crystal Palace have resulted in Thomas Frank's side dropping steadily down the Premier League table to a disappointing and increasingly worrying 16th place in the English top flight standings with a tough and tricky looking fixture against Nottingham Forest coming up on Saturday evening.

Indeed, Brentford have now suffered seven defeats out of their last eight matches overall in the Premier League which includes previous defeats at the hands of Liverpool and Arsenal and although The Bees registered a 3-1 home win against Luton Town, the London club have been powerless to halt their slide down the table.

The bigger picture shows Brentford have managed to collect just a meagre four wins from their last 17 matches overall which includes slipping to no fewer than 10 defeats in the process.

Nottingham Forest have eased their relegation worries for the time being following impressive back-to-back wins against Newcastle United and Manchester United which has helped lift the east midlands visitors up into 15th place in the Premier League standings where they possess a useful four-point cushion over third from bottom club, Luton Town.

These recent wins will have come as a huge relief for new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo and his side as they had previously failed to win any of their previous seven matches overall which consisted of six defeats and a draw which meant Forest had picked up just one point from a possible 21 on offer.

The bigger picture suggests Nottingham Forest are not yet out of the woods though in terms of possible relegation as the visitors have managed to register just three wins from their last 16 matches overall, so the Tricky Trees still have plenty of work ahead of them if they are to preserve their top flight status in the Premier League.

Results and wins away from home have been few and far between for Nottingham Forest as they have recorded just two wins on the road throughout the whole of this season's campaign to date but with victories chalked up at the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle United, these at least show that Nottingham Forest are capable of picking up a favourable result here on Saturday evening.

Brentford continue to miss their star striker Ivan Toney while Nottingham Forest bring recent winning momentum into this clash, so the visitors appeal here at decent odds.
