Nottingham Forest will be looking to get back to winning ways on Thursday night in the Premier League after suffering a 2-0 defeat at Wembley on Sunday afternoon in their FA Cup semi final against Manchester City.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will be eager to get back into Premier League action in midweek having won their previous league outing away at Tottenham last week.
However Sunday’s FA Cup defeat leaves Forest with three defeats from their last four games, and the Premier League’s results over weekend has seen the East Midlands side drop out of the top five, though a win on Thursday would see them climb back up to third.
Only two points currently separates third from sixth after the weekend’s action, with each side only having four games left to play after Thursday’s bout at the City Ground.
Nuno’s side fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat against Everton in their most recent home game, ending an 11-game unbeaten run in front of their home fans, of which they’d won nine, only drawing with the the Premier League’s top two sides, and will be determined to get back to winning ways on Thursday night.
Brentford make the trip to Nottingham up from the capital well rested having not played in close to two weeks in which they ended their run of just one win in six matches by beating Brighton 4-2 in west London.
Thomas Frank’s side head into the City Ground with European aspirations of their own, currently sat five points behind the eighth and final European spot having played a game fewer than all of the teams around them.
The Bees are currently sat 11th in the table and a win for them on Thursday would leave just two points separating eighth and 11th in the battle for Conference League qualification.
Brentford have lost only two of their last nine games, and only one of their last eight away from home since Christmas, a run which includes a five game winning streak on the road prior to their last two games against Newcastle and Arsenal in the Champions League positions.
Nottingham Forest have only won one of their last seven matches against Brentford, though that victory did come in their most recent meeting earlier this season with a 2-0 win in west London back in December.
Forest head into the bout as favourites and with more on the line for Nuno’s side they should be expected to secure themselves all three points and catapult themselves back into the Premier League’s top three – a 2-0 home win seems likely.
