Fulham vs Nottingham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-12-05 19:30.
[p]Fulham agonisingly came out on the wrong end of a 4-3 epic against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Head coach Marco Silva was keen to emphasise the positives following a second successive Premier League (PL) game in which the Cottagers scored three times – a feat they last achieved in October 2022. [/p]
[p]The opportunity to swiftly get back to winning ways at home on Wednesday night against Nottingham Forest is one the west Londoners will embrace, having picked up seven victories from their previous nine H2Hs (L2). A late goal featured in Fulham’s 2-0 win in this fixture last season, and contests at Craven Cottage have featured lots of late drama recently, with the last three such encounters this season seeing the final goal of the day netted after 90 minutes. [/p]
[p]Forest, meanwhile, know that gaining three points here will see them leapfrog their opponents as they look to steer themselves well clear of the bottom three, heading into the round of fixtures sitting 15th. However, Steve Cooper’s side are the only team in the division to have lost their last three PL matches, frustratingly being defeated by a single goal on each occasion, with the latest disappointment coming against Everton at the City Ground on Saturday.[/p]
[p]That run is even more difficult to swallow for the Tricky Trees as they held the lead against both West Ham and Brighton before succumbing to a pair of 3-2 losses. Despite those gut-wrenching results, Cooper will remember Forest’s last trip to SW6 with fondness as they got the better of Chelsea 1-0 in early September. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bobby De Cordova-Reid got Fulham’s third at Liverpool to take his tally for the league campaign to three, having provided an assist at Forest last season in a memorable 3-2 triumph. For Forest, Anthony Elanga has stepped up of late amid the absence of Taiwo Awoniyi, scoring in a pair of recent 3-2 defeats, while he also netted the winner at Chelsea.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Nottingham Forest have lost their last ten away games in all competitions when they have conceded the opener. [/p]
