Nottingham Forest Preview

Nottingham Forest has shown resilience in recent matches, managing to score six goals in their last five games.

Their attacking capabilities have been bolstered by a balanced squad, but they will be looking to improve on their last outing—a thrilling 2-2 draw against Brighton.

Fulham arrives at the City Ground with confidence after a convincing 3-1 victory over Newcastle. The Cottagers have scored eight goals in their last five matches, showcasing their offensive capabilities.

Raul Jiménez has been pivotal for Fulham, leading the team with the most shots on target per match, which will be crucial as they look to exploit any defensive lapses from Nottingham Forest.

Fulham currently ranks ninth in the Premier League, showing solid form, but they will aim to improve their position with a win in this encounter.

Despite a few injuries, including Carlos Vinicius, who is expected to return in a few days, Fulham’s attacking lineup looks strong. Their recent form suggests they are capable of creating scoring opportunities, and if they can replicate the fluidity displayed against Newcastle, they will pose a significant threat to Forest’s defense.
