Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford

On Sunday, the City Ground will host the only Premier League match of the day, as Nottingham Forest takes on Brentford, with just one point separating the two teams in the table.

Nottingham Forest, also known as the Tricky Trees, experienced a narrow loss against 10-man Manchester City in their previous outing. Meanwhile, Brentford failed to generate excitement in their EFL Cup defeat against Arsenal on Wednesday.

When Phil Foden and Erling Haaland netted goals within 14 minutes at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, it appeared that Nottingham Forest might face a daunting challenge. However, Pep Guardiola’s squad failed to extend their early lead.

In fact, after Rodri received a red card in the 46th minute, the visiting team enjoyed considerable success. Steve Cooper’s side dominated possession with 63% and registered nine shots in the second half, while limiting Manchester City to just one shot on goal after the break.
