Bitesize Prediction: Nottingham Forest vs Fulham – 28/09/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 3/4 @ 1xBet

Two sides who find themselves battling it out in the top-half of the Premier League table, Nottingham Forest will welcome Fulham to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Nottingham Forest might have spent the whole of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have come roaring back this time around. Marking their return from September’s international break with a famous 1-0 victory away at Liverpool, the former Wolves boss should find the mood in his camp at a real high. Eventually playing out what was a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at Brighton last weekend, the Reds are unbeaten in all of their first five Premier League appearances and they have received plenty of plaudits. However, despite dreaming of the chance to book a top-half finish this season, Forest will know the importance of finding some crucial stability on home soil. Last seen at the City Ground settling for a 1-1 draw against Wolves on August 31st, Santo’s men have recorded just a single victory in front of their own supporters from any of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to the middle of February.

As for the visitors, while Fulham might have suffered real EFL Cup frustration last week as they suffered a penalties defeat away at Championship outfit Preston, the Cottagers came roaring back last time out. Storming their way to what was an eye-catching 3-1 victory at home against Newcastle, Marco Silva’s men will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. Losing just one of their first five Premier League appearances so far this season, the former Everton boss will now be calling on his squad to find some welcomed defensive steel. Marking their return from September’s international break with a 1-1 stalemate at home against West Ham, Fulham have failed to muster a top-flight clean sheet since opening up the new campaign. It should also be noted, with Saturday’s guests seeing five of their previous six appearances across all competitions finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome from the City Ground this weekend.
