Brentford v Nottingham Forest

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Brentford were handed a 2-1 loss away from home at in-form Chelsea in last weekend's Premier League action but The Bees now return to the home surroundings of their Gtech Community Stadium where they'll entertain Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.

Nottingham Forest will be looking to make it three league wins on the trot in the English top flight after recording recent back-to-back wins against Manchester United and Aston Villa respectively, which have helped lift the east midlands side up into fourth place in the Premier League table.

Brentford have produced a mixed bag of results so far in this season's Premier League campaign as The Bees currently occupy 11th place in the top flight table having collected seven wins, been involved in two draws but have also been dealt seven defeats so far this term as well.

Recent wins against Bournemouth 3-2, Leicester City 4-1 and Newcastle United 4-2 have been offset by losses to Fulham 2-1, Aston Villa 3-1 and the aforementioned 2-1 loss to Chelsea, so this upcoming encounter against Nottingham Forest could produce anything! However, the goals market appeals here as both teams have scored in no fewer than 14 out of Brentford's total of 16 matches played so far this season in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest currently occupy one of the automatic Champions League spots in the Premier League table heading into this weekend's top flight action having registered three wins from their last four games overall.

An earlier 1-0 home win against Ipswich Town along with the aforementioned wins against Manchester United and Aston Villa have far outweighed the recent heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Manchester City and the Tricky Trees will be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to the nation's capital on Saturday afternoon.

However, Nottingham Forest have also stumbled to a few defeats as well in the Premier League in recent weeks as the east midlands club have suffered losses at the hands of Newcastle United and Arsenal in 3-1 and 3-0 defeats respectively, so they are also far from a guaranteed result here this Saturday.

Forest have performed reasonably well though away from home so far this season as the Tricky Trees have lost just twice in their eight outings on the road to date, while the goals market also looks a promising proposition as six out of Nottingham Forest's last 10 away games in the Premier League have resulted in both teams scoring.

Brentford v Nottingham Forest Verdict

The goals market is certainly well worth a look here as each of the last six meetings between Brentford and Nottingham Forest have resulted in both teams scoring.
