Midweek Premier League Predictions

THURSDAY:

NOTTINGHAM FOREST V BRENTFORD

Nottingham Forest went out of the FA Cup to Man City over the weekend and their full focus will now be on finishing in the Champions League spots.

They had a lot of chances in the second half against City which they really should've taken and on another day, they might've won the game due to the amount they had.

This a must win game for Nuno's team due to it being a game in hand and a win will for them here will give them the advantage in the race for Champions League football.

Either a win or a draw for them in this game will move them up into the top five as they're level on points with 5th placed Chelsea.

Brentford have been in good form on the road since the turn of the year with their defeat at Newcastle earlier in the month being their only away defeat in 2025.

The Bees are capable of giving any side a good game on their day and I can see them make it a tough afternoon for Forest in this game by being physical and competitive.

Forest have shown signs of nervousness in recent games including in their last home game against Everton a couple of weeks ago.

I think Brentford will capitalise on this and especially with the form they've been in away from home. But I think Forest will have enough to earn a point.

PREDICTION: 1-1
