Nottingham Forest preview: Poor Forest
Nottingham Forest come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Danish side Midtjylland in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie in midweek with Cho Gue-sung scoring a late winner in that game.
Forest have been in very average and worrying form in the Premier League under Vitor Pereira, beginning this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places on goal difference.
Fulham preview: Frustrated Fulham
Marco Silva, previously heavily linked with the revolving door that is the Nottingham Forest dugout, is receiving some criticism from Fulham supporters after the last ten days or so.
After a 1-0 loss to West Ham United held them back in their pursuit of European qualification in the Premier League, the Cottagers then succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Championship outfit Southampton in the fifth round of the FA Cup last weekend.

Nottingham Forest vs Fulham prediction
Those back-to-back losses for Fulham mean that the west Londoners have won four of their last ten matches across all competitions. One of those was a come-from-behind defeat of second-tier Stoke City, another against a woeful Tottenham Hotspur side and another in a very unconvincing, last-gasp turnaround against Brighton and Hove Albion. Nottingham Forest, though, are some way off the standard of a side that should be trusted to turn over out of form opposition. In fact, Fulham’s last away game, an impressive 3-1 defeat of Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, is still a more likely outcome at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest vs Fulham tip: Double chance – Fulham to win or draw
