The Matchday 25 clash in the Premier League between Fulham and Nottingham Forest will take place on February 15 at Craven Cottage in London. Fulham vs. Nottingham Forest: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Fulham
The Londoners secured a comeback victory last round, defeating Newcastle 2-1 away. The team quickly bounced back from a disappointing home loss to Manchester United (0-1). It is worth noting that in the current championship, the club has only lost back-to-back matches once. Marco Silva's side is in ninth place, five points adrift of the European qualification zone.
Defender Kenny Tete and forwards Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson are sidelined due to injuries.
- The club has not lost in 10 of their last 12 Premier League matches (4 wins and 6 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Fulham's last 13 Premier League games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the final score in 6 of the Londoners' last 7 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Bernd Leno – Calvin Bassey, Joachim Andersen, Antonee Robinson, Timothy Castagne – Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic – Emile Smith Rowe, Alex Iwobi, Adama Traore – Raul Jimenez.
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo's side has delivered some unusual results in the last two rounds. First, they suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat away to Bournemouth, then they thrashed a strong Brighton side 7-0 at home. Interestingly, Nottingham Forest hadn't achieved such a big win in the league since April 1991. It's worth noting that the club has only suffered one defeat in their last 10 Premier League outings (8 wins and 1 draw). They are firmly in third place in the table, just three points behind second-placed Arsenal.
Only forward Callum Hudson-Odoi is in the treatment room.
- One of the teams has failed to score in 6 of Nottingham Forest's last 8 Premier League matches.
- In 17 of Nottingham's previous league games, there has been just one draw (12 wins and 4 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 8 away Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1)
Matz Sels – Ola Aina, Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams – Elliot Anderson, Morato – Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira – Chris Wood.
Match Prediction: Fulham vs. Nottingham Forest
The Londoners are unlikely to find themselves in the European spots by the end of this season. They don't often defeat opponents fighting for a top-four place and occasionally drop points against mid-table and lower-ranked teams. Fulham lacks consistency, as seen in their results – in their last 13 Premier League matches, they haven't won back-to-back games.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, rarely falters. After 24 rounds, the club has only five defeats, and they haven't lost to any team from the lower half of the table. It's also worth noting that Nottingham has only lost three times in their last 14 away Premier League matches – against Bournemouth, Manchester City, and Arsenal. I believe that after their emphatic win over Brighton, the team will be in high spirits and can convert this into a positive result.
My prediction – Nottingham Forest to win or draw
