Fulham vs Nottingham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-14 15:00.
[p]Last time out, Fulham’s season got even better as they defeated League One Wigan in the FA Cup to reach the fifth round of the competition. That latest 2-1 success came hot on the heels of their prior weekend’s impressive Premier League victory away against Newcastle United by the same scoreline, a result which pushed them up to ninth spot ahead of this matchday and keeps the Cottagers’ European qualification hopes alive. [/p]
[p]Next up for Marco Silva’s side is a visit from Nottingham Forest, a team also punching above their weight this season, though one who Fulham hold a strong recent record against. The Londoners have won four of their last five Premier League H2Hs (L1), whilst overall, they’ve won nine of their last 12 league meetings with the Tricky Trees (L3).[/p]
[p]This is a very different Forest team to previous seasons, and last time out in the top-flight, they absolutely hammered Brighton 7-0 on home soil – their biggest league victory since April 1991. That result proved to be a huge boost in their pursuit of UEFA Champions League qualification, even if League One Exeter City then gave them a midweek scare during their FA Cup penalty shootout win. [/p]
[p]That Brighton victory acted as one of eight across their last ten league outings (D1, L1), form which sees Forest enter this matchday in the dizzying heights of third spot. Adding another victory would see them move onto 50 points, which would be a remarkable achievement for a side who prior to this season had seen their last two Premier League campaigns end without even hitting 40 points![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Raúl Jiménez has struck eight of his 11 competitive goals on home soil this season, whilst he’s scored four times across three prior H2Hs. Only Mohamed Salah (21) and Erling Haaland (19) have more Premier League goals ahead of the round than Forest’s Chris Wood (17), nine of which have served as match openers. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Premier League games involving Nottingham Forest have seen both teams score on just ten occasions, with only Everton’s witnessing fewer (7). [/p]
