Nottingham Forest vs Fulham – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips | Premier League
Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Preview
The mid-week Premier League fixture of Nottingham Forest vs Fulham holds a significant stature as far as the survival hopes of the hosts are concerned. Forest did manage to snatch a point against Crystal Palace with the help of a second-half Chris Wood goal, but they would be eyeing all three points against Fulham to further consolidate themselves out of relegation worries.
On the other hand, Fulham looked like it had been blown away by a spirited performance by Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. The Blades led by 3-1 in a game that surely felt like a definite loss for the Cottagers. However, a late and inspired comeback for the visitors denied Sheffield United a win as the honors were shared by the scoreline of 3-3 at the end.
When talking about the current form, Fulham have won three, drawn one, and lost one out of their last five Premier League fixtures. On the contrary, Nottingham Forest is without a win in their last five outings in the league having lost three and drawn the remaining two games.
